Hi *This is mostly from an Indie games/small studio perspective I'm a freelance 3D Artist mostly doing stylised low poly for Indie games so thought I'd pitch in. I wouldn't say I fall into the 1% as mentioned above. I was surprised to pick up more work than expected but I am very good at applying to lots of different…
Hey Darren, Skimming over the other replies here - I think I'm just echoing their thoughts: -You need to create a cohesive scene. It doesn't need to be a functioning level, but something to give context to your work. The props themselves are fine, I think they look good, but they're not standing out as big pieces of work.…
Subscirbed for marmoset because of this update, have no prior experience with toolbag though everything looks pretty straightforward. Had to spend some time figuring why textures look downscaled and blurry compared to SP. Turned out had to import roughness in tga, and activate rgba for albedo. But have a problem now a…
Hello fellow Polycounters With all the great technology coming out I was wondering, how we as artists find our place in the industry (especially in the future)? Having access to so many material-scans etc, will there be a need for an artist to make them by himself? What is the benefit? Don't get me wrong. With all the…
The UV-layouts for the Dawn of the reapers mod is not very good.

The Airpad looks decent but if you look at texture layouts you use 2x 1024x1024 ,…

I've been working on lighting this scene in Maya using mental ray. There are weird light spots that are showing up under the window sill and on the right wall near the floor. It only shows up when final gather is on. I tried turning up all the settings under Final Gather, Caustics, and Global Illumination. Some of them…

Ah, but you clearly know there's more, because it's getting to you that this is all you're understanding. You need to train your eyes. Look at more art that you admire and break it down. Really force yourself to figure out what's different, even if it means comparing a piece of yours directly area by area. Watch videos of…
