I am primarily an environment artist however I am always interested in developing my character modeling side, what is the general view on using images of bodybuilders from magazines like muscle and fitness for reference when modeling superhero type characters which obviously have exaggerated proportions and physiques?…
Hey guys. This started out as a school exam thing and I've recently picked it up again to finally bring it to completion. I'm at a stage where I'd probably benefit from some critique, so hit me :) I'll be updating this thread with my progress over the next weeks.

I was recently offered a job for a Graphic Artist for a studio that is just starting to dabble into game development. Most of their products have been arcade cabinets and…
Im really blown away by this. Thank you so much guys! You have no idea what this means, because it can be a challenge to stay optimistic at times like these. Especially considering the tests they have done have all shown nearly worst case results thus far. Basically what happened is I was working on a deadline (long crazy…
I don't think this question should've been asked in the original blender thread. It's a specific question, looking for specific responses. And there has been a lot of discussion generated from a separate thread that would not have been had in the blender thread (note the wider variety of users). Also, for Alt + S, is not…
Its all about context. If your making small textures for mobile or something similar, where the individual pixel really matters- then true res is your buddy.
