Re: How can I overcome my lack of presentation skill
There is a lot more to a portfolio showcase than final renders. There should be some context and information on your approach and workflow. Showing off a trash container is a tough one, although it is evidence that you can model to a sufficient standard. It doesn't really inspire the reader. You should choose pieces that… -
Re: Upgrading or building a new PC? This is the thread for you!
Hey.... so I'm at the stage where I really need to upgrade my modest i7 6700k 4 core to something better and speed up my look dev work. Was looking into either the 1950x or the 2920x threadrippers. The 2920x is a couple of hundred pounds cheaper which makes it look more attractive than the more expensive 1950x which is… -
Re: UK tax payers to cover 25% tax break
The issue with tax breaks is that there is a danger of becoming reliant on them. From a profit/business standpoint, they are clearly good. From a general development standpoint, they are clearly bad. Incentives like this are great for attracting business to a specific geographic area. What they AREN'T good at is keeping… -
Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - September & October 2017 (50)
Okay so this is laughably out of my league, but I'm learning a lot. I was attracted to this piece because of the irregular curvy shapes and thought it would make a good exercise while I learn Max (normally a Maya user). I doubt I'll finish this in the time frame, or even finish it completely, but I don't mind :) At the… -
Re: Deciding on a University (UK)
University of Southern California had two dope things going for it. 1) The resources (professionals who were teaching, USC's resources in general, networking that was super dope and connections that could get you there if you wanted it) 2) The talent it attracted across the board. Classmates I know are at Oculus, Biizzard,… -
Re: 3ds Max/Maya necessary for a future job in the Industry ?
It depends on your goals OP - What kind of job do you want? Do you want to work in the independent world or the published world? I know some indie studios (well, Wolfire) that use open source programs like Blender for cost reasons. I also know some industry studios that apparently use Modo, but that's not the average. In… -
Re: WIP - Female Character Bust Sci Fi
Welcome to Polycount. =) I can't say I'm experienced with sculpting human form in ZBrush, but I do think your Subdivision level is way too high at the moment; you've got over 15 million Polygons in that scene! =P You don't need anywhere near that much geometry unless you're doing high resolution detail (such as sculpting… -
Re: Transformers 3 : Dark of the moon
And I still ask, how do leg humping, pot jokes, or giant robotic testicles help to sell toys to children? Frankly, anyone who took their kids to see TF2 was being an irresponsible parent. Imagine trying to explain the inexplicable attraction between Wheelie and Megan Fox's leg to your kids. Mommy, why is an alien robot… -
Re: Linear space tools for photoshop?
If anything, I wouldn't mind the idea of an adjusted Photoshop color picker based on proper linear values ... just to be able to pick more "attractive" colors when it comes to painting. What I mean by that is, making it so that picking a grey in the middle of the brightness axis (= 50% brightness) would produce #bbbbbb… -
Re: Free textures license experience.
I usually phototexture, using our studio's account on cgtextures, texturepilot, gametextures. The only bad experience is when the website doesn't behave properly, doesn't let me open many many tabs or when it's organized using some weird logic (to me), but no big deal. Yours seems to be quite good though! I just found this…
