You're wrong all of you wrong wrong wrong...and I will explain why.. Chocolate is made using cocoa, and the best cocoa comes from south america, (so does the best coffee (Colombian specifically) and not from starbucks), where the cocoa plant originates, and not to be confused with the coca plant from which cocaine is…
Hey dude, you've got some great point, im taking a note of things to change for the next revision of my showreel! Funnily enough ive managed to get the apartment building down to 12k previously, and I cant for the life of me think why I didn't use this one instead of the 30k version, however I will make sure that in the…
Deja: While that may be the universal standard, it's never truly sit well with me. For being ninjas these characters always seems unrealistically muscular. Now there is the consideration that these creatures are not only inhuman, but mutations as well. That would easily account for the unbelievable level of muscle that…

Hello Captain Umbrella, so I just looked through your Polycount posts and I agree with what Teodar23 is saying about your level. To give feedback on your stuff is a lot of effort and would normally require a paintover to be done properly. As a lot of the stuff that can be improved are more than the basic feedback of, ohh…
Thatched roof stable Oh hay! I have been working on this thatched roof stable asset recently and thought I would share my process for creating it. I started off by working with xgen hairs on a plane in Maya. Following reference I groomed the strands so that they fall in a straight, layered way, with occasional hairs going…
Just to get some more things out there to make you understand key things: 1. There isn't an universial worldwide copyright law. There are multilateral agreements and such things, but not an unified version. So sitting the USA or China or European countries or Russia means you are facing probably a different legal system.…
1 - The key is to clearly separate design tasks from execution tasks. Any workflow that does not take this difference into account is bound to be inefficient. 2 - You *should* get into sculpting, but not with the hope of producing "clay" hardsurface models that can compare to traditionally modeled hard surface models,…
