Hello! I'm fairly new to polycount (joined in Februaryish?) and started a thread over in the 2D place upon joining. School got busy and I had to focus on that, but since it's Summer and I only have one class to worry about, I wanted to push hard on my skills, especially 3D. I've searched the forums and wiki can't seem to…
Hey! I have been working on a fan art piece inspired by Blizzard's concept art for the Black Temple. I'm not making an exact replica of the Black Temple; I was just using the concept art as a starting point. I modeled it out and took some liberties with the color palette, shapes and textures. My goals for this project: *…
To start, I've been 3d modeling for going on six years now without the aid of any courses or education in a related field. My first complete human character models only started happening about 3 years ago and prior to that the only models that made it passed zbrush hi-poly sculpting and became rigged low-poly models were…
Hey guys! First thing first, english isn't my native language, excuse my bad grammar. I want to get your opinion about my learning path and I also have questions about the industry itself. -My goal is to become a 3D Character Artist. I'm currently a full time self-taught.

Our evaluation is at january, but its better to start early. I have done 3d modeling before, but I have never prepared models for animation, this is…
I am an architectural designer with 10 years of experience looking to break into the VFX industry as an environment artist / matte painter. I have an architectural and 3D modelling background and am interested in spaces, environments, cities, sci-fi, fantasy and natural landscapes etc. I'm wondering where to spend my time…
Some things just take time and practice to sink in. So long as you don't think you know everything you're in a good place. You say you think analytically. Analysis is a process of negation, where you interrogate something by removing elements. If you find that you suffer paralysis by analysis, the solution is to just start…
Malin! Haha, the hat was a spur of the moment thing, no real function to it. And glad you liked the tweaks to the enviros; it struck me as I was re-painting the last one to combine them somehow and it worked pretty well. By the way.. I need ideas for more concept projects :D Harleybone - I have some ideas for how you can…
Prophecies: Yeah, totally depends on your body chemistry, some people do better without it than others. I think I'd partially wrecked my body eating crap during my first 25 years, so my body was glad for the change. For those of you putting forth the "we've always eaten red meat" argument, keep in mind we never had this…
