For a first or second try, its a good start. I have some time to kill and a new keyboard so that means monster verbose posts while I break it in! If you read all of this I applaud you, if you learn something and aren't in a comma by the end then mission accomplished. This is also an impromptu guide for newbie female…
Thank you. I should use subdivision levels more. I tend to challenge myself to just do one thing in around an hour, so I become impatient and just start slapping volume on. And the usual impostor syndrome, of course. If nothing else, I should probably try to think more about the silhouette. Blocking out a lower resolution…
"You can do this , but if it's for games you don't need to care about quad modelling and sub-D. Just bake bevel shader on sharp edges if you want rounded edges . Decades ago we just blur normal map around the splits and it was perfectly ok ." Indeed. Nowadays I've noticed a few streamlined modeling solutions making their…

As you may remember, the judges were sent the Top 5 FIGHTERS and Top 5 STAGES as voted on by the Polycount Community. From there, they rated the entries in 3 areas: Artistic Achievement, Technical Achievement, and…
Since finishing this project, I have considered making the proper breakdown this artwork deserves. That was a great experience in achieving the cinematic look and how I can work on strict time limits. *final artwork* Let's start! First of all, huge thanks to Gabriel Tan for giving me the green light to do this project you…
@mitroi In my case, a lot of it was initiated by me. The company gave me the chance to explore houdini and find some solutions to certain grueling tasks that I and other 3D artists would have to do otherwise. So I suppose it helps that I am 'in the trenches' and exposed directly to the kinds of work where houdini tools…
Not too long ago, a good friend of mine by the name of Nicolas struck up a conversation with me about the general trend of online gaming. Sure, there were always big block buster titles to play, and yeah, they played well. But there wasn't really a lot to make each one stand out from the crowd amongst the rest. The phrase…
