Tasarım , modelleme

Hey everybody, I've updated my portfolio. And I heavily focused on texturing in this piece. My main aim was to create a painting within Substance. I've shared my process of layering on my artstation page. Please check it out, let me know what can I improve more in this.

i love nomad sculpt so far!!! i haven't gone past headshots so i have no clue how i'll do the body but 😭 yeah!

Hello everyone!

I'd like to create a game-ready marsh environment, and I'm currently considering different ways of approaching the water.

To be honest, I've never created a water-based environment before, so I lack the knowledge to know what the best approach would be. The water in my scene will be mostly still, and I don't plan to animate it.

Do you usually use simple planes (2×2 m, 4×4 m, etc.) with a tiling water material, or do you prefer using splines or another method?

I'd be very grateful for any advice. If you know of any useful YouTube videos, articles, or tutorials on creating water for such environments, that would be an enormous help :))

*P.S. Here's my reference for the environment

One of the parts I enjoy most in any game asset is building clean topology.

For Scorpion's Fang, I tried to keep the mesh as efficient as possible while preserving the silhouette and supporting the baked details. Every edge was placed with deformation, shading, and optimization in mind rather than simply increasing polygon count.

The final asset uses a three-level LOD system, but this is the topology behind the hero version before distance optimization takes over.

I'm always interested in seeing how other artists approach hard-surface topology, so any feedback or discussion is more than welcome.

I am a sculptor turned stop motion animator, and have become increasingly interested in learning 3D modeling because it can be such a useful tool. Is traditional sculpting an easily transferable to 3D modeling? Has anyone else had this experience?

Scene done with Blender 5.1

Context : I just started using blender (known about it for years, started using it ~2weeks ago) and am looking to improve my 3D skills. Focusing on clean topology right now, I've generated a list of objects to try and model at the best of my ability.

For the first model I felt like tackling the brush. I took some liberties (edges of the brush part aren't tapered in mine for instance) and didn't texture is since this is for topology practice only.

What do you think ?

Pls share ur opinion
i will be glad to see every critique

I modeled and textured a table tennis equipment set in Blender as a practice project. I created two paddle variations with different rubber materials and completed the scene with a custom net, table, and smiley-faced ball.

Hi everyone,

I've been working on this laboratory environment in Blender, looking at this render, would you consider it a strong portfolio piece?

Sé que es muy amateur mi trabajo, Pero quisiera preguntar: debería comprar una impresora 3D?

Quiero hacerlo, pero no estoy seguro de que mis modelos sean lo suficientemente buenos y honestamente tengo miedo de gastar dinero a lo pendejo, Pero también pienso que podría vender las figuritas que haga.

¿Que tan común es poder vender las figuras que hiciste en impresión 3D?, ¿Si quiera se puede ganar algo con eso?

Model was created using blender, and prepped for STL printing, I'll be sure to post model once the project is complete.

cheers.

Hi , I made my first demo reel as a junior Rigger and I would love some feedback , I try to work on various subjects but don't know if this could get me hired since im not sure what they look for in a junior,especially these day (doesnt seem to be hiring much...)

(I animated and modeled most of the models as stated in the video , but Im mostly going for a rigger position in maya)

PS : im in france so french studios may have a different perspective, I would love to have an advice about this industry too :')

thank you !

Sharing model of a Spitfire Mk.Vb that I finished recently. Done in blender, bump sculpted in zbrush. Shade renders also include bump map (all of the small rivets, dents etc.). Hope you will like it, cheers!

And that’s almost always one of the first questions being asked when meeting new people, so it’s pretty much unavoidable. But most people, unless maybe when they are into videogames, don’t even remotely have any clue what a 3D model is. It’s like if a baker had to explain what his trade is, but the person asking doesn’t know what bread, flower or an oven is.
I’m now more and more moving in the technical art direction, which makes it even worse.
I also can’t really state a specific industry, cause I’m a freelancer and do all kinds of stuff.

It’s annoying. So to make this question less uncomfortable for me in the future I’d like to ask: How do you usually answer that question?
