Unreal 4, 2D Paper Thread Been looking into making a 2D Game in UE4 and it's quite intuitive. Thought I would share some of my findings, please feel free to add your nuggets. "The goal of Paper2D is first-class support for making 2D and hybrid 2D/3D games in UE4."…
Hey Polycounters! It's been a few years since I posted anything on here. I've been pretty busy and have not been modeling as much as I'd like. I finally did a little update on my portfolio and wanted to get some comments/critiques. (I'm not thrilled with the layout) I currently work as a tester at Microsoft Game Studios…
EDIT - Project done, final shot, more shots bottom of page 1: Hello Polycounters! I'm posting a new project I started yesterday. The aim is to show something not biped/humanoid on my portfolio, as well as improving my hand painting skills. I'm doing it as it is in game, the closest I can to the in-game model. So here is my…

I think having any entitlement or holding valve to any type of standard while submitting items/expectations about what will be accepted will automatically lead to…
We already went over this, you obviously haven't read the thread (also don't understand tax brackets) but think you have something to offer the debate by rehashing tired cliches we've already destroyed. Electronics have been going down in price since the 70s, even an iphone is a one time purchase. The things people can't…
15 minutes till 30 minutes for a character with 2000 - 3000 poly´s using UVLayout. A day or 2 with just 3dsmax. UVlayout takes some time to learn as almost everything is controled via shortcuts but it´s worth the time- its sooo much faster and fun for once. You have symetry functions, straighten tools and lots of other…
Thanks everyone for trying to help. Exercise didn't get rid of my pain but it did give me more energy which helped. All you can really do is keep trying things until you find the right variables that maximize your productivity. My PC did in fact cause me pain without me knowing it. My Dr told me that poeple emit and have…
