Update: Figured it out a bit. If anyone has tips or anything please feel free to share.

Re: worst day ever
cheers Eric, yeah pinky liked to leave us little presents near the bed or in the living room. Bobbi is totally mouse friendy. she once brought a mouse that Pinky had already killed, as if it was hers 
but apart from that hasn't caught one mouse in 17 years
but apart from that hasn't caught one mouse in 17 yearsBobbi has diabetes, but she is ok right now
This last one is Bobbi with the brown nose, she is 17 and a half too, but this was taken in east london when she was about 2 years old. she is not too well, but just about hanging on.

Re: worst day ever
sorry to hear man. your cat had amazing fur
ours had kidney failure, one was twice as big as the other and readings were basically off the charts.

Re: Generative AI to make tire skids decals?
Well, it does sound like a good case for a couple custom brushes. Brush size / resolution might be a problem, so upscaling would be the application for AI, here. Maybe use ZBrush or a different software with more controls for how the strokes are laid down.Those damn decals always looks like someone draw them with one dub brush in photoshop by a low dpi mouse. So I hoped that's the areas where AI would shine.
Other than that, make sure to add terms for what you are actually expecting to see and in which context this would have been part of the training data, e.g. texture, decal, brush pack

Re: Generative AI to make tire skids decals?
It's not great. I think if you wrote that prompt to a human artist, they'd have questions and need clarification. The human perspective is what I'm coming from here, so, there's no guarantee a humanly better worded prompt will get you what you need, either.gnoop said:Is my wording bad or something?
I'd personally use "top down" instead of ortho (which is short for orthographic anyway), and isn't really a common term outside of 3D.
Maybe something like "Top down view of tire skid-marks" or, if the turning aspect is important, "Top down view of tire turning skid-marks", and tack on other important words I may have left out (racetrack, nascar, whatever)

Re: !!TEXTEL DENSITY PROBLEM!! PLEASE HELP ME SOLVING AND UNDERSTANDING THIS PROBLEM
Game models don’t use UDIMs, so I would avoid that. Just break your model into logical parts, and make atlases for each. Two to three should be enough.

Re: 3D render character showcases
Your post has been here for a bit and it hasn't got any response. There are things that can assist you. The wiki has everything you need, and a whole lot more: wiki. I put some stuff below that might help.
1/ Anatomy: That is really the first thing with figures. A good practice is to start your model naked so you can concentrate on the anatomy, Choose a relaxed stance and using a free figure program like Daz3D as reference while you work is ideal. Daz has morph sliders that give you incremental control over the model's physicality.
2/ Modeling: Flat and Smooth shading. Have a look at some starter tutorials on youtube and find a description of surface shading. In all modeling programs you can set smooth or flat shading on your mesh.
3/ Clothing and Materials: Study costume physics to see how fabric and other materials (leather, plastic, rubber) deform. You can also use a cloth sim to help you and you can find loads of examples on the web as reference while you work.
4/ Posing: character posing youtube
5/ Lighting: Lighting 3d characters
6 Composition and Narrative: 3d characters composition and narrative

Re: Is Sub D/Poly modeling dead?
Why not both? Sketch rough organic shapes with sculpt tools > retopo with quads to get the clean subD mesh > continue working on subD or get back to sculpting on nice topology...
