I'm done with the highpoly. I was tempted to skip retopology altogether, but I think it's worth it since it's a portfolio piece and all
I improvised a little bit in the back since there is no reference available. I used similar/newer models as reference

There you go. The circled part is to keep creases you added manually, you can just connect sharp_edge to crease_edge if needed

Not through the official website/app, but third party apps may offer different features (Clearsky shows who someone blocks for example). I never tried it myself but DeckBlue says you have a 10 minute window to edit a post, so maybe bots are using it or a similar service/third-party app

I'm a bit quiet these days, I am participating in an environment art challenge organized by @beyondextent.bsky.social , the theme is Witches Den.
Working with 4 other teammates against 15 teams for the next weeks. it's challenging but fun!
This is the blockout we have so far

That's fair.
If you still want to do it in a simple and safe way, you could install the trial version of Marmoset Toolbag 5 and it will do it automatically for you the first time you run it, or from the settings

Back to do some programming and gamedev.
I added conditional questions : Question/Multi-choice options that only appear when certain conditions are met. Eg. you can only ask who's in the picture frame if you have already found and interacted with it, or talk about an event if it has happened

Thanks for the tip!
I only have "Open in Terminal". But that then typing WSL is alright, as I don't use it often enough to bother with settings or creating a custom context menu entry just for it

It's #portfolioday!
I'm Abdou, a 3d artist and gamedev from Algeria.
I'm focusing on prop and hard surface modelling, but I also enjoy lighting, shaders and programming. I'm currently looking for a job.

Vote results:
#6 in first place, followed closely by 8 and 9. Which is about what I was expecting
I'll pick those three and polish them and see which one works best, but I'm personally leaning towards 6 right now
