Hi polycount people. I'm a beginner 3D modeler and would really like to grow my craft with some great designs. While I can produce concepts on my own, I would rather spend more time focused on modeling and texturing. I'm looking for a 2D artist who would create occasional concept work of weapons, environments, and…
So this is my first time posting on polycount, I'm a second year games design student looking to start expanding my skills within 3d to some more organic shapes. I'm posting with the intention of getting feedback and critique on my creature that I am designing for a module. I have a detailed blog post here with my research…
Hello Fellow Polycounters!! I wanted to start this thread because I am about to complete my final year in High School. As of now and forward on I will be working on pieces for a portfolio site. If you have any critiques or feedback let me know, I am always interested in learning how to model the right way. I will be…
Hello Polycount this is my first 3d post on the site, so i decided to build up a mega post to make it worth the while. This is my complete Land Raider project including interior. It was a lot of fun, and i am thinking of all the wonderful animations i could do next. I am starting out in the hobby so this was a big learning…
Yep, been getting this warning lately too. Im on a gaming laptop so no super specs here. Check Skip Loading under Undo History in the preferences menu, then store config and see if that helps. As far as your polycount goes, I have one heavy model that chugs a bit but functions and I checked the point count. It weigs in at…
@thepapercut, Dimfist: polycount is 11k and tris are 22k. Thanks Praetus and Krim @Jstyles: add more topology to the hair and less to the feet. Also a lot less (they can be simple boxes) on the swords metal plate parts. @naturon: Separate the earring from the body, it doesnt work baked into the ear. @darkmag07: have a look…
Why hello my thread! I am quite the busy man now when I got a full time job, I am working on costumer support for an computer reseller, learning hardware stuff by the hour. But I have not forgotten about you Lovely polycount, so I am back! This time with an update on what I am doing but only in 3d. I have been drawing at…
I was once in your shoes only with no CS background, what is up with you guys not wanting to continue on with the programming side? If it were me I would take a look at the "What are you working on" technical artist thread and see if any of that peaks your interest. I started learning 3d 3 years ago when I was 24, I don't…
Hey dude, welcome to Polycount! :D I'm used to using 3ds Max, but when I bring in a reference plane, I try to make it a size proportional to the image I'm using by simply plugging in the numbers; for example, the image you have on this page is 480 x 640 pixels, so I would use a plane that's scaled at a 3 to 4 ratio to…
It's a massive waste of time to worry about things out of your control. There's plenty resources online, I would probably suggest following a tutorial that makes something from scratch to finish. Have a library of references and inspirations. Most of the progress I made was studying on my own and being critical of my…
