Biplane CR.42 Falco for Games – Hard Surface WIP / Looking for workflow advice
Hi everyone, I wanted to introduce myself and also share a project I’m currently working on. I’m Dan , a self-taught hard surface 3D artist, and over time I’ve mainly focused on modeling props for games. Most of my experience comes from the more traditional low poly / high poly / bake workflow, especially for smaller… -
Re: AI Art, Good or Bad? A (hopefully) nuanced take on the subject.
Rather unsurprisingly, after the CEO chatted a load of shit, Nvidia have confirmed it's just doing the usual slop AI generation on top of the rendered image. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0EM1vKt36s Not that that wasn't obvious to anyone with eyes, but you know, they were lying calling it "generative control at the… -
Re: UE5 project low poly asssets
Ah yeah AO is only affected by image based lighting (usually using a diffusely-convolved cube map and/or spherical harmonics). Can you add an IBL? Would really help to simulate nice bounce lighting. As it is, your shadows are all very very black. -
UV and normals transfer in 3dmax attribute transfer?
I need to transfer UV from initial low poly to dynameshed mesh from Zbrush . I usually use Data Transfer modifier in Blender for this . It sometimes does subtle mistakes around UV seams but usually it still works fine for further detailing in Zbrush . Gemini tells me 3d max got a massive update in 2026.1 version and now… -

Re: would a cheap prime lens improve photogrammetry on 24mp cam?
Thanks pior it's a good plan indeed. Just not very much related to the specific question I am asking : if anyone have experience with a cheap, all manual prime lenses and whether they give an essential resolution boost in resulting mesh on 24mp cameras . Simple like that . No XY something. I just hoped folks here might… -
Re: My First 3D project. Your Thoughts? thanks in advance
Kudos on the work, and welcome to Polycount! I worked 6 years at Wayfair, helping lead the 3D team to make environments and renders like this. We developed a bunch of guidelines for how to make and light and shoot scenes. First thing, the lighting is very warm, not matching the reference. I’d suggest adjusting it brighter,… -
Re: [WIP] Lae'zel Fan Art
Idk the lore here for any of this its my 1st thoughts & yes i suppose that does happen with tall people they too look "stretched", guess i am not usually (nor do i notice) this elongated look to irl people. hmm i see even though your model is elongated its not as bad as i am seeing it on my end, here is a img, the site… -
Re: [WIP] Vampire Librarian Character Bust
sculpted the hands for her, and aimed to stylize the hands so that the fingers are longer than usual and have this bone-y look (because she's a vampire, duh!) and add some nasty claw-like nails. -
CAHDD™ (Computer Aided Human Designed & Developed) — voluntary workflow transparency + watermark too
I’ve been working in architectural visualization and CG for a long time, and like everyone here, I’m watching how fast things are shifting with AI getting baked into more tools and workflows. This isn’t another “AI is good” or “AI is bad” post. That conversation is already everywhere and usually goes nowhere. What I’ve…
