F.E.A.R. Character WIP- C&C welcome!
Hello! My name is Tamara! I'm a longtime lurker (on Polycount for ~2 years) and first time poster; I wanted to get a little better before I ask for critique on my projects. My current project is from this concept by Alen Rocha. I wanted to find something else that was kinda hardsurface/plugsuit like so I picked this. Here… -
Sketchbook: Belltann
Hello ya'll. Here is my stuff. Going to post updates and wips here so if there are anything you dont like or think would make the art better, don't hesitate to tell me. Brutal honesty is usualy the key to success. Here is some stuff ive been working on, in my sparetime, since summer 2007. Old at the top, new at the bottom.… -
Re: Creating Trim Sheets 4 Part Tutorial - Polygon Academy
in this case it was more a style choice, there is still some exaggerated bevels/damage but not a huge clean smooth one like they use, their art style is a lot more stylized with a focus on large forms, so even their bevels are super chunky. for hardsurface stuff like scifi trims I would lean more towards a chunky bevel… -
Re: I got rejected from multiple jobs, what am I doing wrong?
Also take into account, it's not always about the prop being wrong. It varies from studio to studio but sometimes the hardsurface job overlaps with environment art. And by that same technicality, what if the guy with the bigger portfolio of both environments and props applies for the position? That was something that… -
Re: Why you should NOT trust 3ds Max's viewport normal-map display!
Yeah true. The unwrap here isn't really optimal (2 min job), but I would never do it with the pelt/relax style part EQ did, way too much distortion for a straight, hardsurface object. In this case, If I had to texture that, I wouldn't even mind the amount of seams I have there: I always bake with Max, so I always have such… -
Re: realistic knife
Looks good to me but I'm not really a hardsurface kind of person. Looks like you've simplified the screws on the body from a star to an allen key shape. Don't think they are as flat, they look more pronounced. You've also made the star setting on the side and the thumb catch on the blade larger than they are and the… -
Re: Recently hired in AAA? Show us your portfolio
This is a great topic, I am a working on my 3d character portfolio to someday (hopefully this year) get a job. I see most of you started as a hardsurface/prop & environment, probably the easier way to start in the industry, but is good to know some of you started as well as character artist, wich is good :smiley: If there… -
[Maya] Collapsing edges problem
Hello guys! I'm still kind of new to 3D modelling. I'm learning in Maya but recently I started looking at 3DS Max tutorials too, as Maya hardsurface tutorials seem to be more scarce. So I started following this tutorial but Maya doesn't behave the same way. It's about the collapse command. Let me show you. It turns out… -
Normal map problem
Hey guys, I started to study 3D 6 months ago and a week from now I decided to dive into the hardsurface on 3dsmax. I'm having strange artifacts on my normal map bake on substance painter and I wanted to know what I did wrong so I can fix it. I will post some pictures of the low and high poly with the UV and the terrible… -
Henrietta Futuristic Machinegun Wip
Hi everyone I'm fairly new to hardsurface modeling and perhaps there are many things I have wrong with this one. This is a gun I'm modeling for a character of my new demoreel. It's an original design inspired in real world weapons as well some sci-fi ones. I wanted to create the most detailed weapon possible, that looked…
