Hey everyone! I've been browsing this forum for a while and finally decided to post some of my work. In the past I've been posting my stuff on Tumblr and Deviant Art but haven't received any criticism so I'm looking to get any comments or critiques you have for me. My resolution for this year is to do one model a day so I…
there's some interesting maths regarding combining normal maps..... you can add the normals together and normalize the result but this does not give the correct result as it generates a kind of blended/average result.

We’re developing a stylized endless runner game for iOS and Android in Unity, with a strong focus on the main character and the world around him. The project is already in an advanced testing phase. Our team includes a programmer, animator, and game designer. We work remotely, communicate via Discord, and share data…
I wanted to share something I came across while looking at models and textures from Borderlands 2. There is a 3D model called WreckedVan that is used all over the game. It comes with a 2048 diffuse map and a second packed mask texture. The size might seem large for 2012 but given that it was standard practice to give…

I'd like to invite the awesome and amazing community that is Polycount to take a look at our event, and encourage any and all artists and design teams to sign up for a space to display their amazing…
I will absolutely look into doing clear-coat when I try to optimize this down. Thanks for the replies! I am back with an update. I spent most of yesterday refactoring my previous result, with a refocus on pushing PBR and trusting it over curating a certain look. I also dug an old reflector out of the garage and studied it,…
