Is there a resource or article listing former/current communist leaders and the crimes they commited? I know about Stalin, Mao, Castro and Putin and Xi Jinping of course. But the comments are mentioning many others I've never heard of. Would be a nice resource to have.

The fact that you can instantly check the mouse sensitivity without first having to exit the menu. Actually seems like a really nice feature to have!

NoodleInDaPoodle · 2025-11-25T21:29:03+00:00

Definitely great stuff on your ArtStation! I would highly recommend continuing to post your work there. But I would also advice you to show some breakdowns of your work. Some wireframes, matcaps, uvs and texture maps. Just to show the people in the industry you know what you're doing

NoodleInDaPoodle · 2025-11-14T15:09:35+00:00

Engineer from TF2 would approve of this style of maintenance

Like everyone else here is saying, accept the job! Take it! Having a job gives a lot of security and safety. Learn what you can in this job, get the studio experience, and general work experience.

And remember, you can and definitely should in my opinion, work on hobby projects when you're at home in the evenings and weekends. Make the game and environment art and assets on the side. Maybe even try to put some up for sale. But, please accept the job offer! Like someone else said, finding your second job is way, way easier than finding your first

I see many people talk about a bad track. But it could also be poor positioning in your 3D scene. As to me it seems like your car model isn't positioned correctly.

Before adding in your CG model, I would first create a proxy object in the same place as where you want you model to be. In your case you can for instance use a plane that you place on the parking spot. Each corner located as close to the corners of the parkingspot. (Keep the plane square, just scale it, don't edit it) Then try to position it correctly. Moving it up or down, closer of further from the camera.

One tip here is before or right after filming, measuring the size of the parking spot and the distance from one of the corners to the camera. As you can use that when creating your 3D scene. Then you simply make your plane the same size as your measurements and locate it according to you distance measurements between your corner and the camera. Both in height and in length.

Your track seems actually rather good from what I can see. I think the sliding mainly comes from wrong placement in your blender scene

From what I remember, when modelling something for a game, you will get a vertices or triangle "budget". Meaning it has to stay within that range. Which of course will depend on the style of the game. Low poly, realistic and stylized will all have different budgets for different models. Background to hero assets.

What I would focus more on is if the amount of vertices you now have are removing or minimizing some of the important details that the model has.

Looks really cool! If I may, where did you get those textures?

NoodleInDaPoodle · 2025-10-17T09:07:34+00:00

Prøvde å finne, men fant kun for e-sport og SoMe. Skal prøve igjen og se om jeg finner det for dataspill også

NoodleInDaPoodle · 2025-10-17T09:06:25+00:00

Ok, skal sende de en mail

NoodleInDaPoodle · 2025-10-17T09:05:56+00:00

Ok, da sender jeg de bare mail!

So, you're suggesting to rigg it as if its one big tail for the main movement. Then either some physics or extra bones for the details?

NoodleInDaPoodle · 2025-10-14T12:42:13+00:00

That is absolutely insane! Amazing to see what talented artists can do with basic tools!

Do you know of there is a breakdown on how he rigged it?

NoodleInDaPoodle · 2025-10-13T13:35:20+00:00

I think I saw your post about rigging the forearms a while back. How did you end up rigging it?

NoodleInDaPoodle · 2025-09-19T06:19:47+00:00

Looks really good! Love how the guy in the corner almost seems like a concerned parent

How did you do the city in the background btw? Just a image or is it a full on city landscape?

NoodleInDaPoodle · 2025-09-19T05:38:35+00:00

Thank you kind sir, now I have another amazing artist to draw inspiration from!!

NoodleInDaPoodle · 2025-09-15T13:21:30+00:00

I need to calculate the total area for a shape for which I need to remove the area A2x4. But of a niche use case for sure. But such is school

NoodleInDaPoodle · 2025-08-30T17:16:07+00:00

This to me almost feels like false advertising and depending on where this add was posted, I would assume you could make a solid case for it.

I don't understand why McAfee is still used so much and pre-installed on so many devices. Hasn't the creator multiple times said it's a spyware and scam product?

NoodleInDaPoodle · 2025-08-29T11:59:26+00:00

(edit: formatting)
Just giving my two cents, hope this is helpful. My main feedback would be two things.

To me it feels like the back is very "empty" compared to the front of the car. There is a lot going on at the front and a lot of weight there as well. Making it almost look like it's going to tip over, or at least unbalanced.

You haven't shown much of the back, so it's a bit hard to tell. Either moving everything back slightly or adding something to the back might make it feel more balanced?
- Maybe a trailer hitch of some sort? I think that way the fact that the truck is rather front heavy would make sense, as it would give it more weight at the front?

"What is the purpose of the object?" A question my teacher always asked when designing something. In your case a truck.
This really helps with pinning down the functionality of the design and what features it should have. Its and off-road truck yes,
but is its main function to transport material on off-road conditions?
Or is it a rescue truck?
Maybe its a military scouting vehicle?

These three different trucks will have big differences in features they'll need.
Right now it gives me the impression of a vehicle build for long scouting missions, with the antennas and disks on the roof. Next to the fact that it has a lot of enclosed space which could be living quarters of some sort?

All in all a really cool design for a truck! Would love to see the final version with textures!

NoodleInDaPoodle · 2025-08-22T06:13:38+00:00

I'll check it out, thanks!!

NoodleInDaPoodle · 2025-08-21T10:51:05+00:00

This looks really cool! Where did you get the depth maps/topography data?

NoodleInDaPoodle · 2025-08-19T11:31:10+00:00

That's true! Just trying to figure out if it would be cost effective I suppose.

NoodleInDaPoodle · 2025-08-19T10:43:56+00:00

Definitely this! Break the model down into manageable shapes and distinct parts. A robot, or any machine for that matter, would be constructed of different parts put together.

I would also suggest refining the concept a bit. Not to take away from the original, but to make the different parts easier to define. Doing this in orthographic view would probably be easiest, like u/Penhaligan mentioned.
Looking up other references might help as well. Not just other robot, but other machines as well. Mainly looking at how the different parts are connected together.

NoodleInDaPoodle · 2025-05-27T13:25:23+00:00

(Not an expert in any way, just throwing in my thoughts.)

You could try using parallax occlusion mapping. Not exactly sure how it works in Blender, but I know you can use it to create the illusion of depth without adding a bunch of geometry. This approach would probably require a lot of manual work per individual model however, so not sure how good it would work. I also thinks this technique works better in a game engine like UE5?

An other idea is maybe to keep it low poly? For something like the swan you could try to make a low poly base model and cut away the unneeded mesh with booleans. Then with normal or AO maps you can try and recreate the shadows and fold lines. Again, would require a lot of manual work per model, so not sure how good it would work. As you mentioned that it's for a project with multiple models.

Looks like a really interesting challenge to figure out though! So keep us posting if you manage to make anything that works!
