Newbie with questions! [/lame thread name]
Hello everyone! (or should I say, hello polycounters? :3 ) I've been interested in modeling for some time now, as I did like 4 years ago too. 4 years ago I found an excellent free modeling program, but I totally forgot everything about what it was/how I found it. So what I am asking is, does anyone know any good free 3d… -
Losing Your Artistic Voice to Convenient Asset Packs
Hello everyone, I'd like to know your opinion on the widespread use that many developers are making of Megascans (to name one example) and other paid or free asset packs in their one-person or small-team development projects. It's not just once or twice or three times that I've recognized the same asset pack in different,… -
Re: Photo Scanning Pikachu
Hi there! I've never made a blog post before.. but I wanted to keep going on this project and be consistent with it. I'm posting this here for my own sake but also a way to be more involved in our industry community, learn new techniques, and hear other artists' perspective or advice, if you're so inclined to give it 😁 I… -
Re: How much of ZBrush do you guys actually use?
My view of things: (i could be wrong..) Suppose things like extra detailing can still be done, if people like to keep those anatomy muscle memories thriving due to repeated "recreation & brush-up", then it can still be useful. Not a big "make-art-button", guy as others of late have been by promoting it, so i would still… -

Classic Art Inspiration for Game Artists
Hey folks, For years now I've been noticing how disconnected we are from classical art as digital artists. There is such a treasure trove of brilliant creative thought and yet we still usually go to the same 3 places as source of inspiration. The OGs have some amazing takes on dramatic lighting, environment composition or… -
Re: Beginner 3D Model – Need Feedback on Topology
As said above, good texturing with PBR materials, good lighting and 2dfx (like the smoke) and well optimised models. Here's a good quick example of high poly to low poly baked material use Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/blender/comments/1sgac0v/this_is_your_sign_to_learn_how_to_bake_normal_maps/ Or better yet here's a… -
Re: Naming your mesh objects in Maya or other 3D software
Just learn to use naming conventions, it takes very little effort upfront but can lead to huge benefits later on when the project gets big. Also proper naming conventions really speed up the export process to game engines, since that way your tech artists can setup import export scripts that automatically figure out if… -
Platformer Game Recruiting 3D Artists
Hello Polycount, My name is Matt Arsenault. I am the Team Leader/Writer/Scripter as well as UDK and 3D savvy for the project "Saving Time". As it is not yet a game it is better proposed as a project. The project is a platformer from third person perspective, adventure type (like zelda). The protagonist is human but him and… -
Re: the kevin bacon game
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] i thought the whole point of the "Kevin Bacon game" was that you had to link an actor to Kevin Bacon in 6 films. Otherwise, it's just a "link actors together game". [/ QUOTE ] since it seems to have gotten missed the first time.. [/ QUOTE ] This is a better game than the Kevin Bacon game. Linking to the…
