Howdy counters, I've been doing some tests for photometric stereo for a project I'm currently working on. Inspired by Dave and Gökhan, who showed great results using this technique. Of course being a poor student, I had to improvise a setup that literally costs nothing, and I'm here to show the results which I'm quite…
Hello everyone. On my next step of anatomy study and muscle structure I figured I would give Da Vinci's sketches a good look over. I've gotten 3 done as of now, and another that was more of a warm up. I need criticism on these pieces. I was recently told that my work resembled that of a novice or a beginner student to art.…
I was hoping to get some general feedback on my portfolio and resume. I won't bore you with too many details about me here as it should all be on my website but here's a bit... I completed my Computer Games Technology degree in May and loved it. I have also been lecturing for the last year to the level 3 game development…
Took me a bit to plan and write this, but felt like I need guidance from fellow artists and professionals.

So I saw Fanny Vergne´s work (1.) and was very impressed. I just love this stylized/hand painted style and before I saw her work, I thought the best way…
Hey guys, i'm in class right now and we're discussing our capstone project proposals that we're submitting next week, and executing next semester (final semester). I have a good idea (I think?) that I haven't seen capitalized on too much in the demo reels of previous graduates. It basically revolves around the concept of a…
Hello lovely people of Polycount! Directly to the question: How much 3D skills do you expect from a concept artist? Or how much 3D skills do you possess as a concept artist? To put a disclaimer that will hopefully save me I do not intend this question as a lazy getaway of "ugh dont wanna learn 3D, I just wanna do concept"…
Hey Everyone, i have been looking to build my skills in Zbrush so i can make the characters that i want to make and improve my 3d character design. I have been using 3DS Max for the past few years mostly for prop creation and level environments and have recently decided to learn Zbrush in order to make characters and…
Hello there fellow polycounters, I would like to showcase our current semester-project here. We are a team of 6 students and our topic for this semester is "politics", which we decided to realize in VR. Everything is done from scratch. Here is the result: https://youtu.be/Ra0wjp26s4E Ripper VR: The Topic: Given the topic…
