Re: Can a regular guy really break into the industry "by himself"?
I love threads like these on polycount. They make me feel as if I will one day be able to make something that others don't point at and say "lolz, looks like my turd from last night. sorry bruham" EDIT: Had a question of my own actually. Does anybody here happen to know what job security is like for programmers in game… -
Re: Becoming a 3D Character Artist, what is your opinion?
I would say...go with traditional art: draw, paint, sculpt. I started 3 years ago with modeling, rigging, photoshop, UDK, etc, basically learning everything related to CG thinking that i needed aid of a computer to create good art(sounds weird isn't it? but many people think that if they have Quixel their texturing… -
Re: [PORTFOLIO] Emma Smith
Wow jeremiah_bigley, you guys never fail to amaze me with your long posts :D I love this forum so much.. I agree with everything you've said, especially about the big project.

Re: Monthly Noob Challenge 6
@evermotion - Hey man, don't worry everyone has to start somewhere. The fact that you're from an arch viz background gives you a head start already. There should be plenty of tutorials around on the Polycount and the interwebs in general all teaching you how to model an game ready asset from start and to finish. Here's 1 I… -
Re: Portfolio Critique (WIP)
The layout looks ok to me so I'll only comment on the content : - most of you pieces have major anatomy issues. As a character artist this should be your main concern. - Never post unfinished stuff in your portfolio. - Push your texturing a lot more. It looks like you just apply solid colors under a bake and call it done.… -
Re: [Riot Art Contest] - Arcade Syndra
Reply by Hekutor · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Art Contest› Riot Art Contest - Character ArtTy Sntinel. I don't know your level so I'm going to make an average explanation. To do the low poly version of your model you basically have to rebuild the entire model from scratch following the form of your high poly model but this time using a lot less polygons, this process is called "retopology". A lot of programs… -
Re: Does my character presentation suck?
The others have pretty much summed up the crits on the characters so I'll give you some pointers on other stuff: I think one major issue is that I don't get the feeling that you are specialized. You have regular 3d-art, character stuff and a show-reel with animations. You need to focus on one thing right now and get that… -
Re: Looking for a Critique on my character artist portfolio
Hey Jason, welcome to Polycount! Looking over your portfolio I do have a couple suggestions/thoughts. • Biggest thing - I would highly recommend cutting the graphic design stuff entirely. If this is your character artist portfolio and you're applying for jobs in the game industry, then focus your folio on that. If you do… -
Re: Can we get separate recaps for knowledge dumps or great breakdown posts?
Tldr: Theres always hope! In the last polycount upgrade thread this was discussed and i think something is gonna happen. May just be the tagging system they're planning on using, an then just add another to mark gold or something. A idea to save on admin work would be; "Featured post" tag on a post marks it as awesomesauce…
