Hey, everyone. I just joined Polycount today and I'm hoping to use some feedback from everyone to really improve my work.

I would like to be an environment artist so that's the direction I am starting to take my portfolio. But I have a looong ways to go. Feel…
Hello ^^ It has always been my dream to become a video game artist. Due to the whole "artists live in cardboard boxes" mentality, my parents never allowed me to take any art classes whatsoever. Everything I know is through observing others and experimenting (..so I pretty much suck at lighting, anatomy, color choices,…
Hi, I'm joining because I need help with a model. I had a model made by someone else, has a custom skeleton and all but they were unable to get it on a valve_biped skeleton.
