If you find yourself switching back and forth between local and world you might want to take a second to set up a "double tap shortcut". I went into a bit more detail HERE, but basically you tap a key once and it will do something like select the scale tool. Tap twice and it will cycle the gizmo to local, do it again and…
hey! I said i won't crit so my crtis do not clash with your mentor's... but I can't stay away as long as I have some info that might be useful. XD Anyway like I i said in a previous post elves are skinny humans with pointy ears. So take a profile picture of a person and look where the skull meets the neck, where the ears…
I was recently watching a flipped normals and they said thats its better to just use someone elses concept art to make a 3D character from rather than make your own. So lets say I make a decent character based off their art and want to put it in my portfolio (artstation) what would be the best way to go about this? Do I…

First post on Polycount, been a lurking for a couple of years. I'm currently trying to break into the game industry, preferably as a prop artist and move into a character artist role when I've earned my chops.

I think here is a good point "elf boy" while i like your idea putting him into a different age i feel this rough and grim endavour really doesn't fit the image of elfs (or elves) as soft beeings with rich culture. You know who wanted to be Elrond in LotR? David Bowie! I feel that's how someone like Link would age....to…
As a follow up to the bow; I understand bungies forerunners have a detailed existance (waiting on that new book) But from my perspective of who they are, I saw a very peaceful race. Technology that was very advanced but primitive in its design, hence the bow. I have some glave, axe and sword designs as well. More of a…
Hi polycount~ I've been having a lot of headaches recently with Maya... It simply crashes about 10% of the times when I start the UV Editor. It's pretty annoying and random, sometimes I don't have any crashes for days and sometimes I get 5 or more crashes in a single day due to that. I've had 3 this morning. I'm about to…
I deleted this post before but I'm reposting it. I'm just curious if anyone else has these thoughts. It takes a lot to even make a baby step in pursuing a career in the game industry,especially the art side. I just feel like damn man...you can be a absolute skillful artist and still not get a job....its easier to get in…
