when it comes to rock type assets, a lot of time can be "wasted" in zbrush. The thing about rocks, is they have a very even similar texture throughout the object, it's not important to make specific areas of the rock unique, as you can see on the bottom example rocks. I would suggest making a tileable texture that looks…
Hey David, the concept you chose looks really nice and you have a solid base i think the one thing you really need to work on is the texturing and the way you construct your highpoly models. Right now it seems like you haven't put a lot of thought into creating the textures and have rushed that process, it basically looks…
You guys need to realize that the current sales for TR are amazing for what you get based upon the legacy, here is a video that while doesn't specifically talk about the current issue and has some iffy points, briefly mentions some key concepts between the new and older TR titles:…
As a relative beginner in this specific field, the kind of person who would benefit most from a course like this, I'll explain some of the issues I have with it. Wrong.

Polycount is great and horrible at the same time. you can learn a ton but you can also seriously…
If you feel like youre not getting anything done then you need to take a step back and really look at how youre spending your time. How much of it do you REALLY spend working? Are you REALLY interested in working on stuff? If you are really interested and if you're with family and its not a bad situation, dont be in such a…
"Uncle Owen, I think this power supply has a bad capacitor? Look!" Bad caps are pretty common. They're cheap and weak and often they fail and you don't know it. They are often the little cylinder tower parts you see sticking up off the surface. there are usually quite a few of them and if one fails that componant might can…
The gun was my first PBR model, so I can see a lot of the issues now. All of the PBR work, except the room I am working on now, is done incorrectly. Almost 90% of the stuff is dated and they don't represent what I know now. But part of me just wants to move forward and not constantly be going back to the old pieces. I will…
