I don't know, I guess I'm a Pixar fanboy cause going in to the movie I knew I'd like it... which I did. I've never NOT enjoyed a Pixar flick. Car's was definitely a step up in visuals than any other Pixar movie I've seen, save The Incredibles which had some nifty scenes aswell. Car's with teeth? Damn right, and they pulled…
Environment art is probably somewhat more in demand but doesn't mean it's easier. Character art is one of the most difficult roles to get into, highly competitive and requires a wide array of knowledge, especially anatomy. Based on your current portfolio, I don't think character artist is a viable path. But at the end of…
Hello everyone, I'm reaching out to discuss a highly technical topic today. It's about the incredibly realistic animations in the upcoming game ILL. I don’t know how many of you have seen the trailer recently, but the way the creatures look like they have actual fleshy skin and their natural posing really caught my eye.…
Hi, I've been having this weird material issue (which you can see below in the image) with a Character mesh that I've been working on, which seem apparent whenever I export and preview the mesh in Sketchfab and Mixamo. I've attempted to fix the normals (which I have done multiple times throughout the project) and reset…

I was watching tutorials etc. and I saw vids from Autodesk about Maya's bonus tools that supposedly come with the updates. I got all excited because a number of those tools are very Max-ish to…

First of all, the curve is beneeth all other curves, where it shouldnt be, according to the actuall values. I cant select it by draging a selection inbetween 2…

I have looked through the polycount wiki. recently I made a paper lanten, I used emission maps... https://www.artstation.com/artwork/k4QVDl however originally I wanted to make…
Thanks a lot who helped me with critics and comments, and just for watching the topic. I learned a lot on this project. I'm happy with the result, and in my opinion, as for the first environment looks not bad. In the next project I will take into account mistakes made here, and I am sure that will be much better. So, the…
Hey team, did a quick search on this didn't find anything so I figured I'd ask. I've been trying to work on a logo for awhile now and have been trying to get some text into zbrush to sculpt some cool details like rock and cracks into it. Here is what i've tried, and the various problems with each attempt. 1. maya polygonal…
