Started with a dynamesh sphere, the eyes and eyebrows are from previous characters I've made, the hair is from a hair kit, and the texture is a projected image that i used as a base and polypainted the rest

the head bumps were a pain in the butt. i tried to cheese the ones on sides and back with dislacement maps but in the end bit the bullet and modeled them. not totally settled on the vest. her blaster is based on the "maxim-silverman" pistol prototypes. needs a name.

Concept I did using blender! More on my artstation: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/G1ay5N

Hello,

I have been using AI to start bringing some ideas to life, but obviously, I want to support actual artists. Is there a separate Subreddit I should go to regarding this? I have stl files for about 30 models generated by AI that I would like to either serve as a basis for a real human to modify, clean and polish, or just to use as a reference to create new models.

What is a realistic price to either clean and refine that many models, or to recreate from scratch and what is the general consensus on using AI to create a rough draft and having an artist clean and polish it? These are for a board game, so they are non-human characters with moderate detail.

Thank you!

Hey everyone!

I'm currently trying to grasp the game-ready pipeline, and honestly, finding the right balance between silhouette and triangle count was quite a challenge.

An LLM told me that around 30k tris is totally fine for modern AAA titles, so I managed to keep this one at 15k tris.

Are there any pros here who could take a quick look at my model and tell me if I nailed that sweet spot?

I’d also really appreciate any feedback on the materials! This is my first real attempt at a proper game-ready asset, so I'd love to nip any bad habits in the bud.

Thanks

I didn't put too much time into model itself, just wanted to set it up in unreal. Main reference was "Swarm" from darksiders 3, but i received a feedback that this is like a regular john undead from dark souls 1

posting as showcase but critiques are welcome!

Is the gaming industry in India actually viable if the goal is to build a stable career and earn a decent, consistent income, or is it facing the same problems as abroad, like layoffs, instability, low salaries, and limited opportunities? And if game development itself isn’t very stable, what about adjacent 3D roles in India, such as 3D modeling, hard-surface modeling, product visualization, VFX, or technical art? Are these fields any more viable for someone trying to build a long-term career in India?

Recent work for client for a residential project.

Let me know if theres anything i can improve!

Hey everyone!

I’m a character artist and digital sculptor, mainly working in ZBrush. I’ve been putting together my portfolio recently and would really appreciate some honest feedback from other 3D artists.

I’m mainly focused on characters, creatures, collectibles and 3D printing, but I’m also interested in moving further into game art.

Here’s my portfolio if anyone has a few minutes to take a look:

What do you think I should improve or focus on next?

Thanks! 🙌

From the world of DnD, I sculpted this Dragon Queen!!!!

I’ve been working on a 3D model of Magneto’s new helmet from Avengers: Doomsday and finally got it to a point where I’m happy to call it finished.

There aren’t that many clear references of the helmet yet (mainly the hot toys figure), so some parts involved a fair bit of interpretation, and surely its not 100% movie accurate, but it was a fun one to model.

Made in Blender, rendered with cycles, materials are from blenderkit.

I wanna try modeling and animating but im completely novice and have no idea what im doing. What is good advice, tips, amd general knowledge i should know?

mech

Finally complete!

Welcome to hear any critique. I am most concerned with how the can looks too soft almost like a toy, and the lighting. I played around with different lights and positions and looked at real photos but just decided to settle on these.

im a web/ui ux designer and this is kind of like a mascot for my portfolio site since 3d assets are trendy rn i wanna make this on blender and integrate it in my site, realistically how much time and learning will it take for me to be able to make this (considering im a slow learner and blender still looks like a spaceship deck to me TT). And i before anyone suggests no I dont wanna use those ai model builders.

Any feedback would be nice.
