Artist Marketing Tips
Marketing is becoming ever more important these days. Not just for people trying to sell things (like me) but even for artists trying to get their name out there.

Re: Texture problem
Hi! Looks like a mesh shading issue. Do the different parts use Autosmooth with different angle thresholds? When merged into one mesh, the settings of the active mesh would apply. You could set hard edges manually, for example along the edge of the blade. -

UV Unwrapping In Sub-D Workflow Questions
Hi guys, what should I do in this scenario for UV mapping? Say the model is being made for production, not games. Should I UV unwrap the high poly and texture it directly?

Re: Question about SubD modeling and Game Assets
Hi! I think Subd modeling is an important skill to have. It's relevancy for a task depends on the specifics, one consideration being iteration speed/flexibility. For an organic subject, sculpting might be a more fitting way to control the vertices (however Subd modeling might be used for creating the base). Aside from the… -
Re: I want to change my username
Indeed, reach out helpdesk@polycount.com using your Polycount email address (so we can verify it's you, and not some troll). You can see if the username is taken already by going to your profile page, then rename the URL to the name you want. For example mastapimp420 still isn't taken! -
[MaxScript] Polygon to mesh projection

Basically like a decal or imprint in pro-boolean. The result mesh should have the topology of the mesh on which proijection was done. Example… -
[Finished] Saxon
Hello! After watching The Last Kingdom, Vikings Valhalla and playing a bit of AC:Valhalla I decided to do an Anglo Saxon character. Normally I do my concepting in the blockout stage of sculpting and then "concept as I go". I am by no means a concept artist but I wanted to see how far I could push my 2d skills, here is the…
