Hi Polycount! I’ve spent the last year obsessed with a single problem: Why do we need to take 50+ photos and wait for cloud processing just to capture the surface of a brick or a piece of wood? I’m developing Nack — an Android tool that uses Shape-from-Shading (SfS) to reconstruct geometry from a single flash photo. No…
Thanks Jipe, some great comments. Yeah I see where you're coming from on the lack of experience thing, I guess it doesn't make sense to expect a studio to hire you freelance without knowing if you're capable of the workflow/deadline from previous experience. I should rephrase my original question. I'm totally open to…
Yeah, no problem the good ol' days. At least we were there! Seems people made wall papers of a few of them on sites or something using the images search term: "dominance war entry winner images". idk if i saved all of the entries from all of the challenges/contests, though i've run into (recently, 14 days or so ago) HDD…
Greetings. I would like to ask your professional opinion about such subject... Here are several item icons from one old game. From your perspective - are they drawn by hand (pixel art, etc) or rendered from the 3D model? Just for comparison - this is what i have got by rendering their ingame 3D models - images somewhat…
As much as I like Kevin Smith and his work, I think he's a pretty good example of a person who just can't take negative critique and thinks it's all a personal attack on him. The whole "if you think I'm such a bad film-maker then how about you do it yourself!"-attitude is a big sign of this. Critics can be harsh and if the…
Hello everyone, I’m really eager to dive into 3D modeling, but due to my health condition, it’s difficult for me to learn on my own or just through online videos. That’s why I’m looking for someone who has the time and patience to teach me the basics and help me grow my potential in this field. I’d like to mention that I’m…
I wonder why that author of the article doesnt whine about restaurants charging him money for food or why workers in the fast food industry strike over minimum wage ... I mean he is used to hunting for food so compared to that chefs/cooks have the privilege of having abundant ingredients and electric ovens and all the…
I think the point of this competion IS to find a way to reimagine the character WITHOUT losing the main feautres that make him/her who he/she is. The point of it is to analyze a characters design and find out what makes them who they are, and why those elements are important, and then work from there to invent their own…
That sounds like dancing with tambourines to summon rain, when you could just water the crops from nearby well with a bucket. Why is such a simple feature so convoluted? Why not just update everything on re-import like every other software does? Or at least have a button, if they don't want it to be automatic for whatever…
I realize there's been some weird shit I disagree with posted since the first page, and I admit I've only scanned over some of the larger chunks of it, but whatever. This is mainly in response to the first post. Also, this is pretty long-winded, but I'm trying to unpack the whole thing. This is my current take on the whole…
