Re: How I reduced eye fatigue
I'd say, get tons of indirect light on your workspace as much as possible. If you have a bright window, perfect, but still get a overhead warm led light against the wall your monitor is in, and another one behind you.
I work on a hybrid company and just attend to the office once a week. They have a kinda "gamer vibe" environment at the office with very poor lighting, I find myself with red eyes and super tyred by 2pm already. At home I can work 12h without a problem.
Make sure there is no direct light going on your eye, I had a very bad eye fatigue problem in another studio where the lights where direct, I had to work with a visor on.
cheers.

Re: Retopology for game ready asset question
2 is definitely what is more expected topo for game assets, although you probably could get rid of some of the loops along the bottom as well, unlike the top, the bottom ones aren't doing much.

Re: Star Wars Outlaws: Character design was the least of this games problems.
I've fixed Henry. He's now addicted to skooma, chugs sujamma on the weekends, and is more handsome because of it. Now he's actually bangable instead of being generic white n'wah no.3

Re: Modular Assets and Tiling Textures
UV's don't need to be in the 0-1 space. Place them wherever you want and scale them up/down to get the tiling texture to repeat as much as desired. For unique details you could use decals, or create a second UV set that'll be rendered over the tiling one (just give the important parts UV space in the 0-1 range and mask the rest out). You can also switch from repeating to mirrored in your shader if you want the texture to flip for any pixels outside the 0-1 UV boundry.
Alternatively, if you need a lot of unique details, look into the more modern UDIM workflow where each UV tile (range of 0-1, 1-2, etc.) in the UVs is given its own map.

"Mate. It's Star Wars. She's not a fucking methhead, you're just a weirdo that can't accept the shape of her face."
....and neatly wraps up this entire discussion.

NikhilR said:And my assessment that she might have been addicted to meth and a street fighter was based on the extreme changes in her face that many meth addicts do show and her living environment (she lived above a seedy bar) in Canto Bight
Rose Tico said"It's a terrible place filled with the worst people in the galaxy."so its possible that Kay abandoned by her mother and living without a father figure and engaging with known criminals did get in with the wrong company.
Atleast in Outlaws she is likely post rehab, but the scars of the hard life remain and perhaps the devs wanted to frame her development as a redemption story like Han Solo............She's also extremely overpowered being able to beat up whole platoons of storm troopers with her bare hands.
Like her appearance really isn't too far from out of province panhandlers that I've seen downtown with pets and they fight in much the same way with drug dealers, bicycle thieves and the police.
Mate. It's Star Wars. She's not a fucking methhead, you're just a weirdo that can't accept the shape of her face.
Do you apply this standard to all the games? Where's the complaint about Kyle Katarn soaking up dozens of shots from Stormtroopers, or that guy in Jedi Survivor?
She can beat them up with her bare hands because it's a bloody video game. It's not that deep. If you want to go on about the unrealism of it, start by complaining about how stormtroopers can't aim for shit and question how Luke Skywalker or Han Solo ever survived a shootout with them when
they're massively outnumbered and not even wearing any armour.
You can't put the blame for the game underperforming on the comments the creative director made. Do you really think that any normie even knows who the creative director is? Hell, they probably don't even know what a creative director is. Its underperformance is much more likely because the economy is in the shit and AAA games are expensive, Ubisoft's reputation is also in the shit, they released the PC version on a service nobody fucking uses....It's completely myopic to think that the reason it underperformed is because of what the creative director said.NikhilR said:Somebody needs to point it out to the team, but honestly given the way the creative director addressed comments on the game, I don't think there is any point, but their actions did result in the game underperforming.......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqzDN2nlPYY&t=2s
and couldn't be bothered to make the actress look like the character in the game, so either they just never cared or this is the direction they are planning to go.
This kay doesn't even fight the strom troopers, Gremlin Nyx saves her.
As for that video, did you actually look at the channel before presenting this? They clearly have like, 3-5 guys who just play different characters depending on what the video needs. It's not a fucking statement about what Kay's face should look like, it's just who they had on hand. Get a grip.
Honestly, how many pages of absurd overanalysis and dogwhistling do you need?

Enough about Kay, now let's talk about how Henry from Kingdom come Deliverance doesn't look like himself anymore. They even gave him a chin cleft those rascals!!

NikhilR said:I felt that there is just not enough exploration of Kay's backstory and how the child kay turns into adult kay with the models and personalities not really matching up in several aspects. (petty thief young Kay -> ex-meth addict post rehab street fighter Kay)
Was the bit where people pointed out the people who worked on that game could be browsing Polycount somehow not enough for you to consider it might not be a good idea to put your actual name and face on going here and nakedly insulting people's work? Ex-meth addict, really?
God forbid a woman has a chin...
