Hello, everyone! I'm a Computer Animation instructor at Sheridan College in Ontario, Canada. I'm pursuing my Master's, and my topic is rigging education. I’ve found rigging to be one of the more challenging aspects of our curriculum--and I'd like to figure out how to do a better job teaching it. (I’d also like to use my…
Hello Polycount community! This is my very first polycount topic and coincidentally my first finished 3D artwork. I uploaded it on ArtStation here: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Ov5XY8 I modeled everything in Blender: highpoly, lowpoly; then I baked normal maps, ao and curvature in Marmoset Toolbag 4; textured…

I saw a gpu repairer/upgrader on youtube brought up gpu issues and says a lot of users seem to…
That's probably something best done when polygon modeling your base mesh (be it with ZModeler or in an external app) IF you want this to actually folded around, double layered material like in real life. However, I can't think of many cases where that would be necessary. So if you want to solve this with sculpting, then…
admittedly, I didn't get this one to a point I was happy with as I had been with my previous model, I did however get a lot of experience using Substance Designer, since I used it and Krita to make my own textures. It was a very good learning experience overall, and my future work will be better for it. based on art by…
The final project of this semester was focused on recreating an environment from reference, of which I chose a part of the subway environment from Stray. Unlike my previous project related to an environment, there was a clear number of things to do and guidelines for how to set up the scene. The sheer number of items to…
