completely agree with Per128. If your still at school milk your school licenses for all they are worth. If you really want to have something at home you can purchase a 2 year student license of Max for around £80 which isnt so bad and it doesnt run out (i think or at least mine didnt when i was at uni). In terms of…
jmchris glad you want to know more! I will post the maps background soon for you :) the flack cannon is just a little L shape corridor connecting 2 rooms. Pixelmasher I think all of your invaluable comments will help us push it to the next level we wouldn't have been able to achieve without it. As we are first year…
Well, not a problem really now that the conversion has been explained. Thanks! Yes, I'm very pleased with the book! It's covering material that I've already been familiar with (consider me still a student but beyond the beginner phase) but the good bit is that it's going into alternative procedures that I either a) wasn't…
If you really are going to go to university make sure the course is what you want and that it will equip you with the skills you need. I made the mistake of believing what was said in the prospectus...dont do that, ask students to be honest and tell you how the course works. Even though I will have a degree at the end of…
Introduction Hello everyone! I thought I'd introduce myself first as this is my very first polycount post. I am currently a university student working towards becoming a industry 3d character artist. I have around 3 years of experience prior to school working in freelance. This month of school I have a lot of free time to…
Sorry if this is a nooby question, I'm still much of a novice with 3D but I couldn't find an answer on this anywhere. From what I gathered is that this is a really unconventional question but bear with me, I'll try to explain myself. I'm a college student currently doing an intership at a plane repairshop. Part of my…

I'm just really eager to work at a studio so I can work with a team of artists on projects. I've been through school, and got a BA in Art. My roots are…
"Equinox: End of Days" is a third-person Investigative-thriller set in 1960s Isles of Scilly, developed by a team of Second Year students studying at The University of Hertfordshire, UK. Playing as farm-hand Edward Travellion, the player seeks to uncover the cause of a string of disappearances along the island's coast.…
Hello everyone. Lurking forever, but decided to ask here about an issue I found, hopefully this is the right forum. One of my students is trying to add hair to a character in Maya/Arnold using planes (on a Standard Arnold Material) while some areas look great, we are having certain issues where the planes are intersecting…
Hi everyone. I'm very new here, the last time I used Polycount was in 2017 for the Riot Games art contest. I'm back as a student in Animation and Visual Effects, so I figured it would be wise to post things here. I just finished my freshman year and while my work isn't the best, I want to have it here to keep track of my…
