Re: Star Wars Outlaws: Character design was the least of this games problems.
No, I understood. I was commenting on your overall argument; that is, the one you've been making over and over again throughout this thread, that we should be listening to the alleged 450,000 pissy Gamer manbabies and their "criticism".
Also.....You do realise "polarising the audience" is not some logical outcome of doing X or Y thing, right? You speak as if it was inevitable that they would get their knickers in a twist; like how jumping off a cliff inevitably means you're going to splat when you hit the bottom. It is not so. The only reason they got as worked up about her design as they did was culture war bullshit because of the current social and political climate.
You're doing it again. Why should the creative director listen to "feedback" that amounts to "she's fugly and I don't find her fuckable enough"? Nobody sane would consider that criticism worth a damn. Certainly not the creative director, of all people!
The fact is, if you look around, most of the criticism of Kay Vess' design is just culture war bullshit and should be thrown away. Barely any of it is worth anything. There is no reason to treat "criticism" that's 90% right wing chud disgust as legitimate.

Re: Oculante - Image viewer with rgba channels
pxgeek said:Hey @jwoelper , great to see you here...welcome to Polycount!Thanks so much making this handy tool that makes it super convenient to inspect textures without having to load up a game engine.
In lieu of a Git account, here are some issues I've come across after using it for a bit:-Drag and drop is broken for me. It will throw up and "unsupported file!" for tga and jpegs. It seems it's file extensions with caps are the offenders (.JPG errors but .jpg/.jpeg works)
-I get flickering borders when using the tiling preview
-Related to drag and drop; it would be great to be able to spawn a clone or new window from the current one (and with hotkey)
-I might be missing something, but I can't see anywhere info on the bit depth (bpc)?
Great point with drag and drop. I confess I haven't used it much. I'll create a ticket for it!
The flickering is a known issue and is hopefully resolved soon with large image support. In the meantime try some tweaks in the settings like turning off mipmaps and see if that helps!
Bit depth is a big topic. It is on my to-do list to fully support all bit depths natively. Right now, everything above 8 is tonemapped into 8 bpp. All filters work in float anyways, so this is not a big issue. Maybe over the xmas season

Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | September - October (92)
@crowlena I did NOT know about changing the angle in the properties to make curves smoother and that fixed my issues, thank you!
I like how the sculpted high poly came out even if it no longer really matches the concept. Mostly there are some techniques in Painter I wanted to try since I'm not so familiar with stylized texturing, so I wanted a few more details to practice.

I sculpted the main stone on the front and the columns, these are just dirty low polys from DecimationMaster with autoUnwrap from Painter, but I wanted to test the look and feel of the columns

It's been for a while when last time I posted my art.
The personal project from 2022 when I was learning Marvelous designer. Focused on detailed texturing and shading to bring out her mystical, gritty look 🙂
Here are some screenshots, the rest you can find on my artstation: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/3EqnZE

Re: Ironmonger
I see! I'm surprised you'd want to do another month on this as a lot of this seems complete to me already, but if thats what you want then all good. I'd like to see how much you can refine it. I know what you mean about the end of a project being time consuming. Makes me think of the 80 / 20 rule, where getting that last 20 is in the details but you requires more time.

Re: [WIP] Divine Sword Design
Looks cool! I don't specialize in weapons so I'm not the best for criticism here, but I find it interesting and like the bit of story you have for it. I think the rings for the soundwaves are maybe just a bit too large, but thats it. I like the design & the idea behind them! I especially like the part that wraps back towards the handle, very interesting shapes there
