Thanks for the advice guys! I guess what I'm confused about is the texture workflow. Like if you want to add grime or decals or anything with a change of colour or roughness really you will need to do the old fashioned unwrap and painting a high poly mesh is a bitch. I might just stick to the old fashioned workflow for now,
Hi all, I'm new to the polycount forums. I'm not going to shove all my art in my art in your face, my site is www.matthewkean.com if you want to see it (also my blog is on there). I decided just to start with a post on a character I'm doing between freelances. Going to be a survivor, worn out old dude. I'll be posting…
since my old computer died when i was too dumb to change the chipset cooler i simply ordered a new one and waiting till the gfx card prices drop (about this month) i bought a new one with onboard graphics amd phenom 940 4gb ram and a biostar board with 790gx chipset what do you think about this decision (i already have hdd…
I'm looking at jumping into the shallow of the freelance pool for part-time work and bolstering finances. It's amazing how much a 7 year old and 5 month old boy eat! Anyways, anyone have any links or books that helped them get started with finding freelance work? I haven't started to update the portfolio yet or even look…
So im working on a hotel room for my current employer and the bed in one room is similar to the bed in the previous room I worked in. I go into the old room and select just the pieces that I want and I go to export>selection>and export as an FBX. The bed file by itself is 8KB when the entire room was only 13kb. Is there…
the game is fun due to really great feedback and good core gameplay, good job on that, feels really good to play. The stylized art looks so much better than the pixel art , its really amazing while the pixel art is good, but nothing special you havent seen before. (That flamethrower, woo hoo!) Actually you put yourself up…

Oxy:- Unfortunatily the nearest I know to forum that has a 50-50 male/female pressence would proberly be the AOL message boards,now i won't go into detail what I think about them or id get myself banned . Rage:- LOL as I said,the joys of working in a supermarket ,but…
"Minors and me?" I'm twice the legal age to buy that stuff. Is that like the South Park disclaimer that says it "... should not be viewed by anyone"? Teenagers don't need to be playing that mindrot without adult supervision. I'm sorry that 17-year-olds are almost 18, and yet not. That's what adolescence is about. If you…
Not sure how feasible and legal this is in your area and especially at this point in time, but it might be worth looking into getting an old PS CS5 or CS6. I'm still using my old CS5 and might be missing out on a few bells and whistles, but for my pretty limited use it's absolutely fine and so far I had no problems with…
How do old posts like this even get found to get bumped? I have never understood that. Is someone just like, hey let me see what is on page 143 of Polycount General that I can make some dumb comment in so this super old irrelevant threat gets pushed to the front.
