Re: Is being a successful 3d artist a loophole?
i believe the epitome of being a successful artist is not when people recommend you just because they know you, but because the quality of your work is just stellar and very commendable and people know you by your ability. looking at the other posts i found: "its not what you know , its who you know ..." and "Alot of… -
Most Efficient Way to Handle Large Amount of Textures
Hey All, I'm looking into ways to most efficiently handle a large amount of tiling environment textures that will be shared across a large amount of environment objects. What are the best ways to tackle this? I'm currently mulling over packing 512 textures into an 8k atlas. This would give me 256 different textures to work… -

I would doublecheck against the shading in your texturing app that all looks as intended in engine. If you want a second pair of eyes on it, feel free to share files (for… -
Re: Just heard about Red5 laying off
It could be for any number of reasons. Sometimes it's just a matter of a project being completed, sunset or just scaled back. Hopefully everyone lands on their feet.

Re: Learning tips! How do you empower your brain to make art?

Whats the difference between using baked AO map in the AO slot and just merging it into my texture?
I baked out my normal, AO, and height maps from hi to low poly in Marmoset. Now I've' imported all my meshes into a single Substance Painter file using an FBX and I could apply each of the the individual AO maps to the AO map layer or I could just add them as an additional layer for the diffuse texture layer. Any reason to… -

I am painting the alpha channel of the vertex, but I don't want to see the transparency in the viewport. I want just to paint a black/white mask. Can I do this?
