Hey guys, wanted to share my AK12 in progress, making the highpoly right now. With the project I wanted to focus on achieving a good replica of the reference and improve my very little skill in presentation. Found a good amount of reference photos but not as much as I would have liked due to the newness of the gun making…
I am remaking the explosive c4 pack from Counter strike Global offensive. I had a sudden burst of inspiration to go do this, so I thought I might as well harness my eagerness and get something done. My goal is not to create a perfect replica, but to create a 'next-gen' recreation. So things will likely look different than…
First of all props for being aware that work has a cost, and that said cost is indeed quite high. Now this thread is very interesting imho because it reveals that there is much more than seemingly meets the eye with this kind of project. With all that said, there are two ways to answer your question. - - - - - 1 • The…
- start small and fail FAST! it's hard to learn something when your project is huge. that's why I make simple props i can do in a weekend when i want to learn something. - you DON'T need to be perfect, just 'good enough'. Polycount is great and horrible at the same time. you can learn a ton but you can also seriously…
McIlroy: Peter Jackson is co owner of Weta. Himself Richard Taylor and his wife Tania Rodger, and Jamie Selkirk are the owners and founders of Weta. Besides co-owners they are close friends.

Sorry Oxy, I think I may have misconstrued myself a bit. When I wrote the bit about the burden of this kind of information, that wasn't targeted at you as being the bearer of bad news. The comment was more generally about an inescapable feature of the information age. These days nearly anyone can turn on the television,…
I'm not sure this is a real person. I saw same question on reddit and it has very odd replies similar to above. not like any english as second language grammar I've ever seen. the account also has very strange post history and a lot of links.
Been away from this thread for a while (still awesome btw), and I've had some new thoughts on the workshop, but a couple of quick catch up points first, if you guys don't mind: * Feedback from Valve on every item is not practical. The workshop is great, but in a lot of ways it's extremely slow already and this would likely…
ZacD thanks a lot for the reply. I've been self teaching and looking at tuts and all that since 13 I think that was when I started modeling, but only about last year did I actually decide that this is what I wanted to do with my life and begin modeling 24/7. Here's an audi I rendered today, it was my first project after…
yea....most of the advice in this thread is spot on from people who know what they are talking about. Its probably downer advice but its all pretty true. Every single person with a rock solid portfolio that I know is working right now, after studio closures and almost every job in Vancouver being contract work of 3-9…
