Hard surface art portfolio review, and planning help please.
https://www.artbyanthony.com/ I recently culled my portfolio and added what I had. I'm already working more, but I think I need more direction. So a few specific questions: * How much and what entries are actually good enough to help me find at entry to mid level work? * Do any of the pieces need more breakdowns shown? *… -
Speeding up highpoly hard surface workflow
Main focus is creating game assets - weapons, props etc. My current workflow includes highpoly, retopo and UVing in Maya 2016, then doing all the texturing in Quixel. I'm still a newbie in the CG area. I love Maya to pieces but I feel like I'm spending too much time making subdiv work and messing with topology I'm going to… -
Re: Topology standards for hard surface modeling?
N-gons are an integral part of my hard-surface workflow. The obsession with quads is an outdated and perpetuated myth. For hard-surface your main concerns are that the in-game mesh is optimised and has a clean silhouette. I only triangulate it non-destructively, before baking, using a modifier in Max. This same n-gon heavy… -
hard surface practice
So I tried hard surface in zbrush for the first actual time since i found myself lacking at it and this sorta scifi racing helmet came out lashing at me right now everything is still blockout except for the helmet which i'm starting to detail, please excuse both the simplicity and the cat ears there's also a head under the… -
Really basic hard surface question
Hey guys, I'm working on improving my hard surface abilities and I just had a couple questions that I thought maybe someone could help me out with. My question is in regard to making assets for a film. I'm using maya to make my assets and 3 keying them to make them all smoothed out. Is it important, if the topology is bad,… -

Remeshing tools for hard-surface 3D scans?
I've been scanning hard-surface items lately, such as gun parts, tools, car parts, etc. So far, I managed to get the scans in really good shape with minimal post-processing. Now I'm figuring out how to remesh them properly in order to use in-engine. I started with http://www.meshlab.net but the end result is not that great… -
Re: My Attempt at Hard Surface Modeling and MentalRay - First Timer
You need more hard surface modeling in your hard surface modeling exercises. Right now there are some cylinders and cables with some very fancy shaders on them, nothing challenging from a modeling standpoint. If you really want to practice hard surface modeling, try doing a car or aircraft, or something like this, this, or… -
Maya Users: What's your hard surface workflow?
I'm trying to get more into the deep end of hard surface modeling in maya but I'm flustered by all the info. I understand how most things are used but what are the best things/tools for hard surface game assets? I'm seeing a lot of stuff about booleans but what about the topology? Does one just retopo with quadmesh after… -
