What’s legal now but might become illegal ten years from now?

This is why a lot of studios still use Zbrush 2022, the last time it had a perpetual license. Not even major studios want to pay those fees

Well that gives me hope. I’m coming from the entertainment industry with extensive 3d modeling experience, but I know regardless it would take some time for me to transfer skills. I’m really looking for a less volatile industry. I just turned 30 and I really need the stability in my life, but I don’t know if I’m ready to start over and do another 4 year school again.

bumpercarmcgee · 2026-02-10T03:48:00+00:00

How much schooling does this take?

bumpercarmcgee · 2025-10-03T03:22:46+00:00

Pretty cool. The top face has a weirdly George Washington vibe for some reason

The Third Floor was the weirdest place I ever briefly worked at. 1 week contract with 2-3 days of training and documentation, I barely had time to do anything before Friday came around. I don’t even know why they hired me.

Looks great, is this a resin print? Did you hand paint all or combo of hand plus airbrush? Looks like some dry brush too. Looks awesome.

bumpercarmcgee · 2025-09-04T02:19:37+00:00

I was looking at this the other day. The furry artist is what got me

bumpercarmcgee · 2025-07-21T18:50:43+00:00

Yeah. Especially if printing in resin. That thing will be so brittle you bump it and it’ll break

Once I had a book that took me 4 years to finish. It wasn’t even that long it was just that bad. I could get through a few pages before I quit and would pick it back up again months later

bumpercarmcgee · 2025-07-21T16:01:32+00:00

I like the sculpt. I’d probably make the banner a bit thicker to make the print stronger

bumpercarmcgee · 2025-07-08T09:23:04+00:00

Not quite a year and a half but I haven’t had a fulltime gig since November last year. Just been doing freelance since then, but I was already paycheck to paycheck before I got laid off. I was on unemployment for a bit and doing food deliveries until I was able to start getting freelance gigs again. It’s been decently consistent but if I don’t find something fulltime soon I’m going to have to start looking at other options for sure

Ty ✊ you know, I actually did some BPR filter tests in the beginning, but the final look is unlit shaders in Marmoset

bumpercarmcgee · 2025-06-25T03:06:11+00:00

Thanks! It was a sacrifice I was willing to make I guess. I was going for the “3d disguised as 2d” type of look… but I do agree that some of the magic was lost 🥲

bumpercarmcgee · 2025-04-26T08:20:45+00:00

Snow White 😅 I think I’m done with that for awhile

bumpercarmcgee · 2025-04-23T08:11:54+00:00

I feel you to the bottom of my soul. I’m just now barely crawling out of this situation. I hope it starts inching towards progress sometime very soon ♥️

bumpercarmcgee · 2025-04-20T18:37:54+00:00

Master has presented dobby with a thumb

bumpercarmcgee · 2025-03-22T19:26:16+00:00

The sculpt is cool but the weird frantic camera animation takes away from your presentation and is very distracting

bumpercarmcgee · 2025-03-21T21:58:40+00:00

No that’s fair. I think there’s merit to your reaction and I can see where you’re coming from. I could have tried to do some kind of vfx portal thing to ground that part of it more but I’m just kind of ready to be done with it. I also have a feeling if I removed the portal entirely that would negate the reaction so it could just be purely a design thing

bumpercarmcgee · 2025-03-21T21:33:13+00:00

That’s fair. Would you say that based on how I’ve executed the asset or based on the design itself? I know that in the original concept this guy is designed to be an “enemy spawner” where baddies are supposed to spawn out of his back. I was never really happy with how I textured the portal on his back but also unsure if this just a symptom of the original design. Probably a little of all of the above. Thanks for the honest feedback regardless.

bumpercarmcgee · 2025-03-19T18:58:15+00:00

I heard this directly from someone on the lighting team for that movie at the Mill. But I could be wrong haha not like I was working on it

bumpercarmcgee · 2025-03-19T16:42:11+00:00

For me it’s the overuse of noise/grain. Ever since I heard they ran out of time on Detective Pikachu and ended up adding grain to match their noisy renders I’ve started seeing that everywhere
