I finally finished my #BladeRunner2049 scavenger phone prop! I cannot thank @BGLeodran enough for going above and beyond with his mentoring on this project! ♥️ Check more renders and breakdowns: https://t.co/ogWHuAjtNW

My partner and I thought it would be super cool to have storm clouds above the dining table for our Halloween party So as always with less than 24 before the party I sat down with cardboard, a glue gun, some toy stuffing and old Christmas light and made these 😅

Not a day goes by where I don't think about this cabinet we found at a home removals place in cornwall earlier this year.. The walnut bur ovals framing the veneer flower art is unbelievably nice. It was only £195 but I had £0 in my account and we were 7 hours from home 😭

While talking about 3D statements 😂 another one that really held me back is: "Metallic values should always be 0 or 1" spent years fighting overly reflective metals cause of this then @ArtOfPilgrim graced me with the knowledge that its not the case Now my metal looks like this
A year ago I was modeling a portfolio piece. I posted HP on social and @JordanMossy kindly asked if he could give some advice he made me a helpful vid about how to tackle it. big part of this vid was using N-gons to avoid pinches etc. This was a literal lightbulb moment for me

Ngons don’t work with sub-d Ngons only work on flat surfaces Ngons don’t work for deforming meshes I'm genuinely curious where people get this bad advice. Is it from teachers? YouTubers? Crusty veteran 3D artists?

@JordanMossy Oh and heres that video https://t.co/e7kA9nrait
SubD techniques and advice for @Daga_Production 23 Minutes this time. Sped up the not interesting part, then I talk over why you'd approach things the way I did after. Hopefully its of help to people.

I had been avoiding N-gons like the plague for almost 8 years at this point All I had seen leading up to that point was "N-gon bad" on every forum, reddit, youtube tutorial etc.

Dont get me wrong its not just games/3D I have worked full-time as a mechanic for the last 6 years and the amount of old wives tales do/donts about working on cars is silly It always goes Them: never do this Me: why? Them: Just dont.. 😅

The cynical part of me thinks its because 90% of peeps who teach this practice dont actually know why they think that like some crappy telephone game And that in itself is a much bigger problem with the industry itself thats hard to get into 😅

I get that peeps think its good to tell students to avoid pitfalls to "simplify learning" but 3D isnt a simple subject theres nuance to every part we should be teaching how/why n-gons work not scaring people away from then to make it "easier"

The compressor is finally in. I feel its coming together but something feels a little off but I dunno what. I think maybe the composition is off and its really not selling the scale/making it look sparse? Think I should have spent more time on comp and lighting in the blockout

This one was surprisingly tough to texture you'd think it just being made of a single material would make it easier but trying to get the metal to not only respond in the right way but also not look repetitive was harder than I thought😅 #Gameart #gamedev #substancepainter
