The thing is, you're going to use the results of the web design contest for your own purposes. Brawl didn't take what people submitted and use it privately. You're asking people to give you a sizable amount of work on the chance that you might pay them. It's a job, not a contest, and you treating it like the latter comes…
Hey there, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but as a first timer I'll start here. Sorry if this is the wrong place. I'm just getting started with 3D modeling (I've been playing around with 3DS Max and running tutorials through Digital Tutor) but before I go too far into it I wanted advice on the best…
Just some thoughts, others who already commented have 1000x more experience than me: As a person starting out it may be better to work on hourly pay so that you avoid getting over committed to bad jobs/bad clients. This also mitigates the need to even worry about getting compensated for revision and having to make…
Is there a way to get a zdepth image (like z depth pass from 3D rendering) but of (from) a "normal" 2D image taken by camera (specifically probably some texture taken by photographing, like texture of a rocky ground etc.)...? And if yes, can i even adjust "the focal point"... etc. where the "blacks" and where the "whites"…
Hi I'm looking to get into look development more and texturing in general. I have a decent understanding so far but I want to expand that. I have a couple of questions I was hoping to have answered if someone has the time to answer them. Firstly whenever I look at reels I always see 3 spheres somewhere when they show off…
So I've had Quixel for about a year across five different computers and it's been useless so far. It's VERY hard to understand what's going on and despite watching a ton of tutorials I have no idea how they get to the point they do. When I import all of my various texture components it just seems to wipe them out and I'm…
Hello beautiful community of Polycount! Recently my GTX 650 got fried but it was about time to get a new GPU. Our tech guy suggested us the GeForce GTX 750 Ti, but I am totally illiterate when it comes to tech stuff, so I thought I'd ask here. How's that card or do you have something else to suggest? My budget is about…

Some weeks ago I decided to actually make a high poly of it and finish my…
Hey all, So I'm back after the last post and I really feel like it's the not progressing/getting stuck that's giving me the doubts to keep on pushing forward. The biggest issue with me is just anxiety even in life in general but what normally happens, If i take on a project or try to model something a little more complex…
