Portfolio advice for getting into the Games Industry - Character Artist
Hello fine folks of Polycount, I'm looking for some advice on how to pick concepts to work off of that are appealing to recruiters and the artstation community to get noticed and hopefully network and find opportunities. I've made 2 finished portfolio pieces so far (that are far, far far from perfect) but even in their… -
Re: [Finished] Mech Fan Art by Shinku Kim
Hey thanks for your feedback again. I want a more practical look to the fin on the shoulder that why I add more fin to work like a filter that can spun up or down. It also help to hide the inside compare to just one piece. I will have another look at the texture. -
Re: Why do so Many Auto-retop Tools Spiral and Why do People Not Seem to Care?
if you're looking at conventional (non-ML) algorithms there really aren't any very good ones for inferring a direction of flow from an arbitrary cloud of points cos it's just not a thing you can express mathematically. ML is probably the answer to this one. it's an ideally suited problem ... That of course means you'll be… -
Re: Whats a good course to start with likeness?

And thanks for sharing your progression, I think this is helpful for other game developers to be realistic in assessing their own careers. It’s not easy sometimes, and game dev can be a real pressure cooker, with all kinds of bad management practices.… -
SwarmBot (critiques are welcome here)
A short description. A hard surface practice that grew out of a simple blockout doodle. There were two goals in mind. Firstly, explore ways to add tertiary details to the polymodeling workflow. Secondly, make the modeling process more streamlined and welcoming for design adjustments. The third goal was to relax after work… -
Re: Grusti's progress thread
Some feedback / thoughts: * Generally speaking don't render with a black background; aim for a dark grey like Polycount's background colour. * The DDO texture presentation isn't that practical if you want people to critique your textures / uving * I would avoid using the detail presets in legacy dDo. They can be helpful…
