Things have... not gone well, long story short. So I figure I'll ask around here for those of you who have maybe dealt with this before or might have some suggestions, or leads, or anything. Everybody knows or has been the starving artist. The other half of the Starving Artist experience is the Homeless Artist. I've done…
Just curious how you learned the skills and then gauged when your work was good enough to start putting a resume out there. I know a lot of artist tend to be perfectionist, and then on top of that art can be a pretty subjective thing. So what's a good rule of thumb for knowing when to start putting yourself out there? I…
First of all, mind telling us what brand are you? So that we can guide you accordingly. Jokes aside, it is funny how people use this "Brand new me as a 3d modeler" statement loosely, which they really shouldnt. If you have done 3d modeling and worked with some mod, like you stated, than you should have a rough idea about…
Hello wonderful Polycount community, I'm thrilled to embark on my journey of learning Substance Designer, and I would love to hear your friendly advice and insights. As a newcomer, I'm seeking guidance on the most effective ways to learn and get started with Substance Designer. I warmly welcome any suggestions or tips on…

My VA counselor stabbed me in the back and denied the benefit at the last minute. I am more bummed out than angry. I don't have that much option left than going to a local community college to take…
I would highly suggest you start with an absolutely basic object. Make something you see around your house and focus on the entire process during your studies - Model it, unwrap it, texture it, and render it. Just as a very basic pipeline direction for your introduction into modeling for games. Starting off with a…
Hiya, I'm new to this whole scene. Like, really new. I work a boring office job and I'm looking to get into 3D art, i figured it would be easier to learn if I had someone to work with and keep me accountable. I think it's too early for me to start looking for a mentor as I'm literally starting from zero. I figure if even…
So...bear with me, I tend to get a little unfocused as my brain tends to wander and rant so...I hope I make this as clear as I can. I've been aspiring to squeeze into video games and/or comics since I was a teenager. I was always sort of proud of my ability to come up with concepts and stories at the snap of a finger and,…
