Hi, everyone I am a newbie at 3d art only becoming famailar with Maya a few months ago, At the moment I am trying to push my skills..... so I grabbed a concept off the Internet and have begun trying to make it. At the moment I have only just finished the modelling process. I have no fixed Polycount but I want to keep it…
Hello polycounters! So, you guys seem to be the best of the best when it comes to this stuff so I'm here to try and learn the ropes and get better at the one thing I wanted to do 3d for in the first place. I had an aborted attempt at the second Dominance War and I've done one other game model since, but this is my first go…
Hello, Polycount! :] I would like to start out by saying im a big noob at this. When the Dota 2 workshop opened up 10 months ago i knew i wanted to get in on this, but it was also the first time i ever used a 3D modelling program. The 1st and 2nd items i made somehow got accepted, but no luck since. I now have 39 items in…
Oh ok , well lets just put "game art" aside I agree best site to learn is Polycount. But like I asked in second post, what about programs that cover wide areass such as Animation (both pre rendered and realtime) and creative thinking (not just limited to games) for web, design, print etc etc. I hope you folks get where I…
OOOOH Ok yeah hehe I remember the chat. Sorry I didn't connect the dots...like I said I've been kind of neglecting Polycount and really even personal 3D work for a little while now. That project kind of sucked some of my enthusiasm for 3D away.(it's back now though :D) Yeah sorry that didn't pan out, but now the rest of us…
So I am absolutely new, a fresh babby on the Polycount forums. But seeing this challenge, I knew it was just the thing I need to get my creative 3D juices going again. So I am all in! I unintentionally ended up cheating on this month's challenge though, as while I was browsing through the voting thread last night, I saw…
Check out http://theartdepartment.org/ It's run by Jason Manley of ConceptArt.Org. They offer bachelor's degrees through Aspen University. I don't know if Aspen University is widely recognized or not so you will likely have to do some more research into that. They are focused primarily on concept art, illustration, and etc…
If you really are going to go to university make sure the course is what you want and that it will equip you with the skills you need. I made the mistake of believing what was said in the prospectus...dont do that, ask students to be honest and tell you how the course works. Even though I will have a degree at the end of…
So first get reference on the kind of lighting you want. It can be concept art, pictures, a paint over, or another 3D scene. Something to work from instead of trying to create it from your head. Like any other aspect of art it is extremely important to work from some kind of reference. Somebody posted a nice little mini…
Daily Sketch & Study #6 - Zbrush Character Study 01 Hello Polycount~ good afternoon :) So far seems I studied a lot of different materials and objects, I decided to working on the stylized character while I'm doing daily sketches. Also I'm planning to start working on 3D props based on the concept that I did in this…
