I've been painting creatures and characters for a while (you can see at my Artstation to get a grasp of where I am skill-wise) but I want to try something new, explore, and branch into environments. This means a lot of new topics, but that also includes old topics that I need to better understand like lighting and…
I've had a bunch of trouble trying to make them work and come out right in a way that makes sense, even if not completely presentable. I've mostly been using UV Master in zbrush for it after i've sculpted everything from a zsphere adaptive skin and polypainted it. However i've begun to start using the retopology tools and…
So I'm just getting my toes wet in ZBrush. I've learned most of the major opening pit falls from getting something on screen that you can actually edit, to knowing how to correctly save a project. I've got something I want to sculpt and a concept for it: From what I understand about the program I'm going to need to learn…
Hello all I am looking to start a new business and have been looking at the different 3D software packages. I would want to get mostly into advertising stills and visualization projects. Lightfarm Studios is a decent example of the type of work I would like to take on http://www.lightfarmstudios.com/retouching. I am…
Hey guys if you have some time please take a look at my portfolio i am open to any critques, it's been a couple months since i have graduated and am wanting to start on a new piece, possibly a fantasy type piece since most of the stuff i have is based on real things, i was wondering if for example i would be able to take…
I am planning to create something similar to the scene below, but am not sure where to start. I took this photo, among others, on a hike the other day and was inspired by the fall/winter feel of it. It's on a small mountain ridge in northern NJ: Some other shots I could potentially use for ground texture: I would like to…
This has been pecking away in my brain for awhile now - As the thread question implies, how many pieces should be in an artist's portfolio before they start applying for freelance or full-time opportunities? I'm specifically interested in reflections on a character artist's port (how many full body, how many busts, etc.)…
Hey all! Well, I got my 3ds Max 2012 student version, so I thought Id actually start learning to use it. I have been using Wings 3D soon for 2 years. It's quite simple program and but not clearly as feature rich as max, but it's quite powerfull and very easy to use. But the problem is that everytime I try to use max, It…
Hi, i have another problem: My quixel doesn`t start (the process starts for a short time but stops immediately), even when I run it as an admin (64 bit; windows8.1). (and yes I tried to turn it off and on again;I tried to reinstall it, but nothing works.) I changed nothing and the Suite worked some hours ago. What can I do…
So I use my intuos for everything. It's been a few years now and the drawing area is starting to wear out a bit. I saw that Wacom sells covers that you can buy, but they're like $40 which seemed pretty expensive. I was wondering if I could just get a screen cover for a surface pro tablet or something and cut it down to…
