I completely understand, and identify with what your saying. As my attitude would be "why would I pay someone else for an enormous amount of my time?! knowing I (personally) have not a chance in hell of winning!(and therefore wouldn't be competing for prizes anyways)" But I would gladly pay for some kind of merchandising…
Of course it's a free event. Who in their right mind would pay to enter an art contest that requires a commitment of countless hours over a few months in order to finish? This whole "we should be happy to be able to work for free" angle of yours is rather weak. Not everyone is so desperate for exposure. Yes, organizing a…
Hi Folks! My name is Tobias aka ToKoMotion and I'm really a huge fan of RL's Character Creator and it's great to see that RL launched this character design competition now.

Jule Vernal the smiling, polite artist, one that bowed to her…
When your engine has some of the worst content pipelines EVER, masked by only hype by those who never experienced the troubles, Source gets a terrible rap for every technical artist here. It's a no brainer. This isn't about the backwards compatibility due to the legacy baggage carried from the Goldsrc era, that's not a…

Here's a few things you should know: :icon_arrow: A team of 3 friends! (optional). You can be a team of 1 concept artist, 1 3D modeler, and 1…
Well, you've trained your AI using presumably a bunch of data from the internet. Which is really problematic since it's likely you haven't asked any of the content creators for permission to use their content for commercial purposes. And you're using a Naruto video to demo with, which is also covered by trademarks,…
"As I really dont have much to do with characters I am curious how useful retopo addons like the mentioned ones would be for optimising any assets I make espically sculpted ones" Can be quite helpful not only for organic figurative content sculpted or otherwise but also large scale hardsurface props (vehicles, scifi mechs,…
Hi all, The Blender Foundation and Apricot Team (who will be making a 'open source game using Blender as the content creation tool, and Crystal Space as the game engine) would like to know what sort of features you feel would help improve your work flow for those of you that either use Blender currently, or are interested…
