Now that the submission deadline for Petrol/Blood has passed, we want to ask the community at large for feedback on the contest.

Re: Anyone got some tips for general advice and motivation?
Starting out do a bunch of everything! Characters, vehicles, weapons, environments, effects, animation, whatever isn't nailed down try it! After you get that out decide what makes you happiest or you feel that you enjoy the most. For me it was characters. For about 2 years. Then a company asked me to test for a… -
Need Q3 Crash model(md3) exported to a more general format
I have Q3, but I was unable to import md3 models to 3ds max 9. Would some kind soul with gmax/tempest or older max with md3 import/export plugins convert blue crash model to 3ds, obj or max format. Don't need textures(cause I have them from the pack), but I do need UV coordinates intact on models. Or alternatively step by… -
Oxygen Generator Room - Jonas Roscinas - Star Citizen Test
Hi guys, This is my first real-time environment, as in the past I focused only on characters and some hard-surface sculpts within zbrush. So this was truly a challenge for me as I had to learn a completely new workflow using custom normals and decals, but when I was offered to do an art test for Star Citizen I couldn't… -
Re: The realistic skin, muscle, and gore systems in the upcoming game "ILL" - How is it optimized?
I played RDR2 last year, but since the horses were small on the screen, I didn't pay much attention to the details back then. Looking at them now, they look truly impressive. They almost look like a Ziva VFX product. Normally, to generate such detailed normal maps, you would need ZBrush or complex muscle group modeling.… -
General questions about road imperfections

Texturing advice on a giraffe, or short haired animals in general
So I am working on a making a giraffe at the moment and have the high poly nearly done. I plan on doing completely unique UVs across the whole animal because of the nature of the spotting pattern which would look weird if it were mirrored. I plan on painting the spots by hand in zbrush and baking it to a map to finish… -
How would you UV this? (and general questions about UVing)
Hello, I've started 3d modelling a few months ago, while I've improved UVing still remains one of the biggest mystery to me. So I have a few basic questions - Is it neccessary to use a software dedicated to uv unwrapping (such as headus Uvlayout) or is blender enough? - Do I need to make as few uv islands as possible? if… -
Re: General Workflow for Game Character Modelling
For me, it all depends: If I do hardsurface modeling, I try to model it with the idea of using the same, but simplified geometry as my final game mesh. Meaning, I avoid retopology later. It's generally a decent idea to think of when you model anything. In other situations, I model a basic mesh in 3ds Max, do whatever I… -
