Low Poly Environment Diorama
We have started doing 3D art challenges at my studio to have something other than our studio work to have fun with and help grow our skills. For our first one we are using the Blizzard student art competition (not entering obviously, just doing the competition guidlines). The competition guide-lines are basically to make a… -
Gladius sword (first post)
Hello, all. I'm new the the Polycount forums. I'm fairly green still, since I'm a student of game design and haven't been at this long yet. Still, working hard to get there! Anyways, this isn't my first model (second one done with diffuse, normal, and spec maps), though it's the first one I feel is worth posting for… -
Hair & Transparency Issues
Hey guys, nooby game art student back here with a new problem. This is my first time trying to make hair for games, so its no wonder that I am running into issues. I have no particular talent for painting, so its all very basic looking. I feel like I have a basic understanding of the technique, painting the hair, adding an… -
Blade Runner Tribute - Unreal 4 Project
Hey guys, first post on polycount after looking at a lot of people's great work :) I'm Samuel Bang, a 2nd Year student at University of Hertfordshire studying Games Art, and I've recently started a tribute to Blade Runner by doing the interview scene (in which the lighting is fantastic :D ) Reference: So far, I've been… -
Re: Getting into traditional painting
I meant century , not 18 cents for sure . :) His last prices was like 20 mil or something. While IMO it was nothing but just a nice tourist postcards of sightseeings which were in high demand before actual postcards . He is an example of great entrepreneurship from old times. As of portraits my advice not to dive too deep… -
Re: What would you be looking for in a Mentor who helps you get into the industry?
Experience depends on what I am using the mentor for. I don't think they necessarily need ten years experience in AAA if getting job there isn't my goal. If their art is good, it's good. Main thing important to me is earnestness, strong communication, and that mentor teaches by example. I used Georgian Avasilcuties… -
Re: Stomp Games (Tencent Boston) Layoffs
This really pisses me off - I know exactly what it feels like - been hit with the banhammer even after being given the greenlight to show stuff. "company secrets / revealing company technology" - yeah because noone knows what concept art or 3d models are or what wireframes look like, that shit is voodoo man top secret!… -
Re: Creative Fantasy Writing
Thanks Danshewan. Do you think it's just lazy that I haven't put particular things that explains why, for example, the lieutenant is anxious and whatnot? Do you think I have some sort of base that I could improve on? I'm still a student as of now as most of you know and I have had no real intention of continuing my writing… -
Re: Degrees, Visas, and moving to America
Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated. Nice link to Gav's write-up too, I hadn't seen that. So in terms of the degree, is it simply a case of having one, or does it matter who awarded it? The thing is, as I mentioned, I do my degree in my own time at home, using correspondence via post and email. The reason I do… -
Re: Portfolio Critique
I am also a student but I'll try to give as much critique I can think of You should only show your best assets. Take away your gun, its not holding the same quality as your other stuff. Try to achieve a better layout on your pictures. You have the spirited away statue in two sections. Try to have them collected like your…
