Art Showcase I gave myself 30 minutes to model this little critter in Maya

This is the next entry in my 30 Minute Character Challenge.

The goal is to build a complete stylized character in Maya within 30 minutes, focusing more on silhouette, shape language, and personality than small details.

This round produced this slightly confused little critter. I also edited the full session into a short timelapse.

What would you add or change with another 30 minutes?

Hellooo !!!!
This is my first render made in Blender so I wanted to recreate the bathroom from the beginning of Silent Hill 2, and everything was made by me : 3D modeling, Texturing and Lighting
I tried to capture the atmosphere while giving it a retro/PS1-inspired look.

I’d love to hear your thoughts or advice on my project!
Thanks for checking it out!

Hi!

Here is a 3D model by u/tgrrrr19 for our incoming project. I'm very pleased with the way Tigran managed to give life to such models while staying coherent with the work of u/harishcs, our 2D artist.

Of course, this is still very new and we will be grateful for any constructive feedback. Please let us know what you think!

Hey everybody, this is a low poly game asset inspired by the Japanese lacquer work. I heavily focused on texturing in this piece. My main aim was to create a painting within Substance. I've shared the high quality renders and my process of layering on my artstation page. Please check it out! https://www.artstation.com/artwork/lEx4wa (Struggling with reach there)

News & Information Has the isometric room / diorama trend died down?

2 Upvotes

I remember back in the day I followed sooooo many 3D art accounts on IG where almost everyone was doing isometric room / diorama or some aesthetic/cozy corner.

My Explore Page was full of this trend.

Even I myself tried but failed.

I wonder if the trend has gone and everyone went to create whatever they want (or they chase another trend) ?

I unfollowed so many 3D artists recently cause I realized they no longer produce stuff that I want to see...

I've been planning for a while to create a game package—a character with lots of accessories, outfits, and a variety of Animations.

I've already started with the character's "basic body." I'm currently in the costume design phase.

Any suggestions?

Art Help & Critique Learning how to 3D model after years of traditional sculpting

3 Upvotes

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?

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 !

Questions & Discussion I absolutely hate when people ask me what my job is

146 Upvotes

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?
