Re: Why are we conforming to a non-dislike button scenario?

imagine how much money polycount could make if 1 like = 1$

We could call it gold tooth, it'd be like reddit gold but for all the people over in https://polycount.com/discussion/235912/star-wars-outlaws-character-design-was-the-least-of-this-games-problems#latest

or what about giftable loot boxes containing senior artist advice

"Ah dang, I got the boolean bevel advice again! I got this one 7 times already, and I'm not even doing hard surface! Well, guess I need to buy more greentooth tokens. My pity roll should be in the next 3-5 I think..."

Re: AI Art, Good or Bad? A (hopefully) nuanced take on the subject.

Half Life reimagined with AI.

At this point the most impressive thing about all this is how quickly the "rEiMaGiNeD wItH AI" shtick became so very boring and predictable. Yawn !

Re: Why are we conforming to a non-dislike button scenario?

Because dislike buttons are for assholes.

If you don’t like something, you’re always free to simply ignore it and move on. Or better yet, give some constructive criticism how it could be made better.

There was plenty of hand-wringing over just adding the “like” button, when it was added back in 2016, plus debate about a “dislike” option. https://polycount.com/discussion/175618/reaction-buttons-added-insightful-awesome

Re: [ Maya ] DecalMaster - Accelerate Detailing Through Decals and Trim Sheets

Hey, really love how this looks and am considering getting it! I have a few questions about this (though maybe not all directly related to the tool?).

How would this integrate in a workflow with an external texturing program like Substance Painter? I'm also curious what you meant by a midpoly + decals workflow exactly.

I haven't seen a whole lot of behind-the-scenes stuff in professional models for games, and was wondering if a typical mesh would have that many decals (vs a traditional bake to texture), though I understand this is an example scene meant to show the versatility of the tool (which seems amazing!)

Functions like parallax occlusion mapping work in both Unity and Unreal?

And lastly your Maya viewport looks really good, how do you get it to look like that?

Sorry for so many questions

Re: Blender: Precision Question

Right - re-setting the mean radius to 1 did work. I didn't know that was necessary I guess. I thought re-setting scale in object would take care of all scale issues. Thanks for the help!

Re: Blender: Precision Question

Hi! Once you applied the circles' scale, make sure the points' mean radius in edit-mode is 1 (might be 3 in your case):

edit: using "Apply Scale to Deltas" seems to apply scale while keeping a mean radius of 1. But I don't know what else "Apply Scale to Deltas" does, so best test/read up in the documentation
