Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
Another business decision that impacts the desire to switch from in-office to remote: some cities in the U.S. offer tax incentives to businesses that fill office space in their municipalities, because all those workers need lunches, gyms, haircuts… local business stimulus y’all!
These incentives can rely on a certain number of people being onsite. If the developer fails to keep that number present, they lose the tax deduction, and that can be a significant hit.

Re: Help Marmoset Overlap Artifact Fix
Hello. Yes, of course.kanga said:Tell us what setting you changed so it can be there for someone who has the same problem in the future. Even if it is face palm stuff.
Here's the description of the situation and the solution I applied.
First, I created low-poly and high-poly models. Because the high-poly sculpt was very heavy, I used only one instance of the objects for baking onto the low-poly overlaps and trims. This caused a problem with the AO map: on one hand, it recognized the presence of the high-poly, but on the other hand, it wasn't actually there, so the AO didn't bake correctly in those areas.
Solution:
I duplicated all the high-poly objects the necessary number of times to fully assemble the object. Consequently, the scene became 4 times more loaded... But nevertheless, everything is now baked properly, and all the trims and overlaps I used tile seamlessly.

Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | May - June (96)
Trying to challenge myself by doing environments rather than props for this challenge-- I'm enjoying it so far but this sculpt is also killing me inside a little

Re: LOW-POLY ART
Thank you to everyone who took time to offer feedback on my models and also provide informative resources these past few weeks. Our class project has finally come to an end and this was my first time doing low-poly modeling! It was inspiring to see what you all have created and I definitely want to explore this art style more in the future. I hope to be posting more personal projects here over the summer!

Re: Blender Mega Thread
I don't know if this is common knowledge, with the enshittification of search engines finding information on the internet is becoming increasingly hard and I couldn't find any specifics about this, but I just stumbled upon a baking issue (and how to avoid it):
When baking Blender seems to process all render-enabled objects in the scene. Meaning that if you're baking an emission map from a high poly to a low poly and happen to have some other completely unrelated object with, let's say, multires, 100m from them Blender will still soak up RAM to process that object and all its modifiers... failing to recognize it's not part of the baking selection and that it can't affect the chosen bake type at all.
The quickest way avoid the issue is to stuff everything you're not baking into a collection and disable it. So if you're running into OOM issues or long bake times, try this because the performance hit can be absurd.
This seems an old issue. I found a several years old unresolved report about subsurf affecting baking of all other objects that sounds like this same issue. They just didn't realize it's not about subsurf itself.

Re: [FINISHED] Scifi Antenna
Hello!
I finished the project. You can find it here : https://www.artstation.com/artwork/mAdzNE
I reworked the red light and made a few comparison shots as previously mentionned. Feel free to let me know if you think there’s anything that could still be improved.
Thanks a lot for all feedbacks and comments.

Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | May - June (96)
Hello everyone, I started working on the sci-fi crate earlier this week and this is where I'm at now. I had to take some decisions here and there to adapt the concept to 3D but overall I'm happy with it.
I still need to finish some floaters for the panel lines, which is something I decided to try in this project.
