I love you guys. Brilliant pointers here. Mark, it did cross my mind that the boards were a bit "laser" crafted haha. But didn't want to eat into the poly budget too much, hence why some parts of it look angular, but maybe 900+ polys is too little, so I might have a go at adding some details there. I love your rule about…
"I want to know this to have the best possible idea of what's expected for an environment artist." I think the way this post has started (with a simple texture) and now a rock. Are these the only 3d things you have done? Are you just starting 3D? When you don't already have a portfolio, I would assume that means because…
So, I'm going for an bronze clockwork shark turret. I'm going to animate the guy with a real jerky puppet on a string feel (although that's really more for me than the contest). I know typically LoL turrets are stone and fire lasers from a crystal, but this bad boy is going to fire bullets from his mouth. I'm going to be…
Been playing this non-stop since about February, initially we weren't impressed - probably because of the learning curve of the vehicles, but once you get used to how they handle the game is like crack. The only thing that brings it down a little is the stunt modes wasting space that could've been used for more derby or…
Heres my take on it... Programing, costs money to make money. starts out low, but has the potential to give a person the power to hold a company hostage and really rake in the cash. Most programmers are lazy and never actually get around to writing that "give me financial freedom, or so help me I'll put 'hot coffee' on the…
Not all fields are next to rivers and I guess you're mixing up fertilizers and genuine real bullshit, but since the inclusion of small strips of bushes and trees between the fields and watery areas that problem has almost completely disappeared. :) Also farmers rotate the stuff they grow, so that the soil gets a chance to…
I have been noticing that some high level weapons artists have metalness in their materials in where it would be considered painted metal(which would mean no metalness). I have seen this on multiple occasions on Artstation and also in texture packs. This is very confusing to me as in reality, only the exposed underlying…
Hey Polycount. This is going to be a progress thread for some work I've been doing on the side. I've noticed that I've been procrastinating quite a lot in the last few weeks and its starting to bug me that I can't seem to shake it. So it was suggested that I start making a habit of daily work and daily posting, even if it…
Alright, I am super excited about this challenge and can't wait to get started. This will be my first challenge here at Polycount and I can't be more thrilled to jump into this awesome community. I'm going to try and be as active as I can giving feedback and can't wait to hear from all of you. Anyway, right now im still…
I have 2015 i5 mini and it has allays been a totally useless toy. Slow as hell with always not enough RAM and non existing gpu. As of working on the go I can't imagine I would suddenly need a computer in the middle of nowhere , living under a tent in a desert . I understand somebody would need but just not me. I rather…
