Hey all, Something I've been meaning to do for a while, but finally created a little blog of my own to post articles, studies & project WIPs, etc. First post is up! Talking about some of my personal art principles that informs a lot of my decision-making when creating a prop or an environment in the context of work!…
Hey guys, This is my first thread here at polycount and I need some feedback. This is just a random prop idea I had as I'm working my way into sub-D modeling. I know this prop needs a lot of work, especially with the maps. My normal has got some issues with blown out colors that I need to fix, not sure what is causing…
Mostly a repost from my artstation, https://www.artstation.com/artwork/xarZr This was my first prop from the Wild West prop render competition found here, https://www.artstation.com/contests/wild-west/challenges/40/submissions/32163 The texturing is atrocious and I will be redoing it in time, most of it was literally a…

Hello. Prop artist at Ubisoft here. Once you have acted on PixelMasher's advice above, feel free to shoot me a PM for some feedback. Personally I like your stuff, but you only have 1 environment example, and 1 prop, you also aren't showing any breakdowns of how those are made, so it's difficult to judge the quality of the…
Basically it looks like you have a ton of AO and no cast shadows. Your AO (basically everywhere the different parts of your prop intersect) is very strong, dark, and diffuse. So I would tone that down a bit and reel in the spread. Also adding some very crisp cast shadows in certain areas (like coming from parts of the prop…
Aside from the scaling... All the props seemed to be randomly picked from scenes of different genres. Construction, junkyard, city, market place, highway, and a pirate ship. There doesn't really seem to be a thought process behind what objects were put in the scene. It all feels chaotic in a way. And not because everything…
This is just the concept floor and ceiling plan for my Throne Room Entry. The top is how I plan on doing the floor, and where I plan on having my props placed. The red is all carpeting, Circles are pillars, the Orange Stars are Torches, and the Ovals are candles. The Squares in in front of the pillars/right behind the…
Just giving away my two cents tips again. I like the smaller bag. For me the smaller bag the one which makes him look larger. (Small size of a prop (eg. a cellphone) makes the carrier look bigger, a bigger prop makes the carrier look smaller. Same as heads. Small heads: illusion of big body. Big heads: illusion of small…
