In this short tip, I want to describe my workflow of making vehicles for this project. 0. Decide what you want to make. 1. Gather references. You need all sides of the vehicle because they are mostly asymmetrical. 2. Make high poly mesh by using reference images. I'm using Blender. Mostly I'm using the following modifiers:…
I wish to have 48 hours in a day! It is really difficult not just to make animations but to describe the work flow, especially in English which is not my mother tongue unfortunately. But now I am almost ready - :). For my little joke I had to make 5 caricatures: Mr. Barak Obama and 4 well-known beautiful Ukrainian female…
This piqued my interest so I hacked a macroscript I'd cobbled together a while back for turning sprites into 3d objects (it's a hack squared) It appears to work - it's not fully automated or clever but I actually got some decent results out of it bad things : It starts from a very inefficient mesh (quad per pixel) and…
What kind of jobs are you looking for and applying for? I have no clue from your website. Do you want to be a character artist? A concept artist? An Environment artist? Generalist, tech? I have no clue. Why would I hire you for any role if I can't figure out how your skills apply to it without having to spend 10 minutes…

I managed to make all the changes I wanted but I still have a piece of code to correct. Currently if you select a bone in the viewport, the popup Skintools don't follow. You have to select the bone in Skintool's list to change the weight of a vertex. I'm looking since yesterday, but I feel that it's beyond my capacity with…
Having released Slarks Shell Dagger a few days ago I have had some messages and comments about the transition from concept to final and how to keep things similar. I don't have the time to do a detailed rundown but I do have a bunch of saved files which chart the progression mostly well and I do use pretty much the same…
@Boosted24v There's a lot of factors at play here but the majority of the issues with the model are related to inaccurate or incomplete shape geometry and noncontinuous / non-coplanar topology. When it comes to the actual modeling process the issue is more of what's being hidden by the n-gons rather than the n-gons…
Pirax said: Was the risk worth it in the end? Yes. It was worth it. Do I have any regrets about it? Yes. I wish I did some of that sooner. Did the place I moved to have a positive impact? Yes. I don't mind rambling about my past jobs. Removing the freelance gigs, I had like 4-5 employers, as an employee. After my…
Yeah, I have a lot to learn. The response and feedback I've been getting is amazing! I'm still learning, so I don't have a definitive pipeline; but this is what I usually do: 1. Take time to decide on a topic; this is pretty important; oftentimes grandiose things like elaborate suits of armour, or dragons, are more flashy…
