Internet Rot and brain drain: The loss of technical knowledge as sites and forums decay
Hi there.I made my account back when I was very young and frankly I hate this stupid username. But I don't feel like making a new account to post what I feel is an important message. I hope you will read what I have to say. I work as a pixel artist and 3D artist, and pixel art has had such a gigantic brain-drain that… -
Re: Need advice on rebooting to learn 3D
First of all if you want a job in a game company you must learn the industry standard software otherwise you will be in a disadvantage against the other artists that know them. Check out my answer to this thread ( http://polycount.com/discussion/comment/2624103#Comment_2624103 ) for a list of industry standard software (… -
Re: Designer to UE5 different results
tga only supports 8bpp people need to stop using it, it's almost as old as Eric -
Re: Parking Bay - UE4 Environment
That is looking muchhhh better now, it's starting to match your reference now. Also there was something I also spotted later on and figured out what else could be stopping you from achieving a look closer to your reference. The way the ceiling lights are bouncing off onto the environment is going on a 180 degree direction.… -
Re: Hitting a wall with learning anatomy and characters.
Having looked at your portfolio and the Noctis studied the feedback you have been given is pretty accurate. I think you need to take a step back and evaluate your work and what are the major things that need to be worked on. Lets take the two things mentioned in your post, Anatomy and texturing. For now Ide recommend you… -
Re: Mass Effect 3 M-13 Raptor - Critique Requested

Re: Freelance advice needed please:
It's just the way things are. I've been doing freelance since January of this year. People always figure because you make it look easy that it is easy. And it's that way in any talent based field. I have a good friend who custom paints race vehicles. I asked him if it was the same in his industry. He told me that on… -
Re: Quixel SUITE | Suggestions
Opted to purchase Suite 2 at last... it's a great tool and the new 3D painting stuff is exciting, but not quite what I was hoping for from an in-photoshop app. Here's the direction I'd love to see it go in: If there is any way to bring over more of the photoshop tools that are so close but not quite there, it'd be great… -
Re: Advice to Improve Walk Cycle ?
I'll just throw down some quick feedback first of all: - I'm not sure, but I think it's a bit too slow for just a generic walk. A generic walk will take place over between 24-30ish frames on average.
