I've been working for some time on a map for the Red Orchestra 2 game (ww2 FPS), this map is my first one and it's based on an outdoor village in the Russian steppe, most of the static meshes beside the grass are the stock one from the game not mine. What I'd like to improve here is the lighting of the map. This scene…
Latest: Greetings! Here is my latest project in UE4, a Train station based on an exaggerated Art Deco style. I started the project with the Train model last summer and wanted to revisit the style. Not including the train, the project has taken about 3 weeks to get where I am now, and I expect to finish it in another 7.…
UPD: thank you all, the artist is found! Hey artist! :) If you have some experience with a hand painted, cel shading or other cartoon style art – you're welcome here! For the upcoming "Knightmare Lands" project we're looking for an artist who can help us to compile a lot of different references to the single unique visual…
(I'm new to this site, if this is in the wrong part of the forums, please let me know9 I've been working in Blender to and fro since summer but haven't been able to work all too much due to having no good of a PC. Got a much better now and I'm ready to 100% focus on 3D. As a beginner it's very frustrating not being able to…
Yea, the one near me (located in a medium sized game city) seems to have some good 3d professors (from what I've heard, I don't actually go there). I've also met two of them at a monthly local meetup in my area. Both seem to have good connections within the industry (although one is more indie focused) and are always…
I've begun a new room scene! I will be working on it mainly next semester with an emphasis on lighting and texturing, but I thought I'd get a head start and work on the modeling portion over summer. The theme is a tea shop. I'm going for a mixture between a shop where one would go to purchase tea and coffee shop-esque cafe…
Yes I can understand why the scale thing didn't really come up, it wasn't really on your agenda but I guess its worth trying to include these things to get into good habits, everything we make should speak in some way and economy is the key imo. The normal map will alter your spec and gloss dramatically usually for the…

I upgraded my computer to a i7 2600k with 16gb ram just like you're planning last summer and I don't regret it one bit. I can now use photoshop with several 4k texture maps, zbrush, 3ds max and maya all running even while playing games(bf3 doesn't stutter one bit). I got a new graphic card too, a 460. This is what I…
really strange shit man. i've had alot of experiences like that with different things. for example, i started seeing this chicky over the summer, and the secret of nimh happened to pop into my head one day. i go over to her house that night and she pops in a dvd, guess what...it was goonies. no, honestly it was secret of…
