How much detail do I retail when retopologizing?
Hi guys, this is my first rodeo in retopology, and I'm very lost. I've sculpted a high poly, and now I need to make it less dense so I can easily rig and animate. My problem is that I don't know how much detail should be retained. For example, my little guy has raised spots on his skin. Should I make a circular edge flow… -
Please help me understand what lacks in my work that stops people from hiring me.
Hi people. Im sorry in advance if this thread seems dumb, but when i say im stressed and a bit depressed im bloody serious. I really need some advice before i have some form of breakdown. I designed these things from scratch, is this good enough to get a job in a small indie studio as a 3d concept artist/designer? If you… -
Welcome to 3December at Polycount
Welcome to December. The last month of the year. The last of 2016. In celebration of the end of this wonderful year, some of the community has proposed a month of 3d models. One a day for the entire month. There is no more rules than that and the prizes are non-existent. If you can't do it one a day, then one every other… -
Re: Job searching whilst already employed?
1) Try not to burn any bridges, espcially ones you are standing on. 2) There is no better time to look for a job than when you already have one, it takes the desperation out of the search and allows you to be a bit more objective. 3) No one should ever hold it against you for making your life better. Some petty people… -

Re: Having Computer Problems
The crashing started after I added the extra stick of RAM and began using the February version of UDK. I am currently using March. Going to switch over to May right now and see if I still crash as consistently with that. I doubt its from overheating, as my temperatures never go over 70*C. Last night, withing 10minutes of… -

Re: Sketchbook: blue_skies
@Alismuffin - Thanks! Sorry for the late reply. Hmmm, how to answer this question... colours have always fascinated me, and it's by far my favourite part of painting (I struggle more when confined to greyscale), so I just like to experiment alot. Firstly, know your color theory rules, and once you know them, you can break… -
Re: Dreams of becoming a UI artist
+1 for everything Stinger88 said. You'll want to stress graphic design, art, and animation. Having some programming knowledge (which you'd probably pick up anyway) is also incredibly valuable. I'm a UI guy and went toward the coding end. It's really easy to switch industries (if you have to) and finding a job has never… -
Re: what is causing these yellow normal maps?
Sure, it's not totally necessary. Just speaking my opinion :) The way I see it is that if I can get more control for the trivial amount of effort needed to use a cage, that's a huge plus for me. I've seen the technique you mention. Honestly? I let skewing happen and I'm happy with the results. I don't waste time with…
