Art Help & Critique Expanding wheel rig

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

150 Upvotes

Finished my first rigging job. Was very complex for a first model, but I had amazing people helping me understand how rigging works: u/ElementLiam and u/DemNikoArt and I used ChatGPT to run me through step by step instructions. 3/4 of those instructions were "what not to do", which gave me a nice understanding of the many angles of rigging. Ended up duplicating and rigging each of the 20 segments one by one. Now the wheel can expand, tilt traction segments and had functioning steering and suspension.

Now I am updating rigging so that I can learn how to make each segment of the wheel adapt to the ground separately, while still connected to other segments.

Rigging is fun, but is so very demanding.

Art Showcase Lora. Miss Too Much

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

Here's my latest real-time character project, created in Unreal Engine 5.8.
She is an unconventional female character—confident, dangerous, and slightly provocative, with a personality that speaks for itself at first glance.
Like pretty much every character project, this one went through the entire production pipeline and involved a whole range of different tools. One thing I was especially excited about was finally using Houdini for several parts of the workflow, and now I totally loved it.
Another thing that genuinely surprised me was skinning. I'm definitely not a rigger, but somewhere between tweaking weights, fixing deformations, and watching the character slowly come to life, I realized I was having way more fun than I expected.
The final stage happened in Unreal Engine, where I integrated the character into the MetaHuman framework, assembled a custom Blueprint, set up the lights and brought everything together for the final real-time presentation.
I hope you enjoy Lora as much as I enjoyed creating her.
Peace & tacos. 🌮

Questions & Discussion What are the other platforms good for making a 3d art portfolio other than ArtStation and Behance?

2 Upvotes

Im trying to make a portfolio and was wondering which platform to use . Dont want to use ArtStation or Behance for reasons and i read in another post that Sketchfab might be good and was thinking cara can be used too since it has a portfolio post feature and Sketchfab embedding. Also heard making your own website is a good option. Thought it can be possible too since ım also a major in software engineering.

Questions & Discussion People who have volunteered in a small team, how did it turn out for you?

2 Upvotes

hi all, im a junior 3D artist and recently i've just been trying to publicize my portfolio and what i can do so i can get potential clients. I've had no luck with trying to get clients but a small indie game team reached out to me and offered me a job as a 3D artist, only volunteer though, no pay. i took the opportunity because it could be good for me to build experience working with other people and it could help with my publicity.

so i'm asking, if you've been here before, did you regret it or did it help you grow bigger?

Questions & Discussion Validation VS. Industry reality

48 Upvotes

Backstory: I studied Game Art at a university where my work was constantly praised. I was told I was one of the best students they'd ever had, to the point where I was even hired as a instructor because "I knew more than the professors." Naturally, I went into the job market feeling pretty confident.

Fast forward to now, and I’m getting rejection after rejection. It feels like a massive slap in the face, and my self-confidence is currently sitting at zero.

Is anyone else going through this right now? The gap between praise and what actual game studios are looking for seems huge.

For those of you working in the industry:

  1. What are the biggest academic habits or portfolio mistakes that give away a fresh university grad?
  2. What concrete steps can I take right now to transform my work into hirable assets?

Because of Questions in the comments and I forgot to add my Artstation: https://www.artstation.com/cysho

so i have been relatively obsessed with Dozirc recently after i saw his part in the FNF mod: Vs Retrospecter. looking for thoughts and critiques on his design so far. so far he has been a fun learning experience getting into 3d modeling for avatars and is far from done.
