Re: Successful 3D artist without drawing skill?
As simple as it is to noodle around in a sketchbook every now and then, I guess I don't see why you wouldn't work in 2D at least a little bit. I do think it's possible to be a solid 3D artist without having much drawing ability, but I also think if you have 2D ability, translating it into 3D is a simpler progression (let's… -
Re: If you could turn back time what would you do for your final major project?
I'm happy I went to school even if I could have learned more and faster if I knew of Polycount U. However, as I went to a engineering/science/business focused school (Purdue University) my final project ended up being something that grew my 3D skills absolutely none at all. If I could go back to change that, I would have… -
Re: How to retain focus
Chiming in to give OP my advice. For me, it's a matter of discipline. There are multiple threads in Polycount that discusses this. In my case, I do a daily quota of around 4-6 hours (depending on the time available) during weekdays that I dedicate for 3D. The remaining time are spent talking to teammates, reading emails,… -

Goblin champ w. oversized helmet
Hey Polycount!! Returning customer here. I haven't posted here in ages. I'm more of a programmer/designer today, but it's safe to say I learned almost all I know about 3d from this forum. You could always get some good honest and harsh critiques in here. I'm building a goblin just for practice since I wanted to learn more… -
Chesterfield Sofa (UDK & Octane)
Hi everybody, not my first time at polycount - have been around for like 4 years. However I haven't done any gameart for ages and so registered again with a new nick. Currently I'm working on a small university project, an UDK adventure, inspired by Hitchcock's "Rope" movie. The whole level will actually only consist of… -
Blobfish Stuff
Hello, After a few years of 3D, I've figured I should not only show my work to my close friends and but start a shameless self-promotion thread on Polycount (and receive feedback as well). I recently fell in love with 3D Coat (great soft!!) and made some stuff for fun/training/portfolio. The first one is a 3D fan art of… -
[Paid] Recreating a Marble in 3D
Hi Polycount, Odd and fun request today. My Father passed away. He (unbeknownst to me) had a collection of marbles. I want to take his favorite marble and make it 3D to use it as an avatar. Many years ago I commissioned a piece of 3D art that resembles a marble. You can use this as a base and recreate the insides to be… -
