I've read and seen a few things about gamification of learning and it got me to think about some ways that may improve the effectiveness of education through adding game mechanics. This is just a fun mental exercise intended to generate ideas, so don't take it too seriously. Who knows, maybe this could be rolled into…
Well this is stressful for sure. As of recently the UE Marketplace hasn't been quite as healthy as it used to be, as it has no more human moderation from Epic on flagged comments and reviews - meaning that harassement and some shady practices happen. So migrating to a new platform could mean either further…
It's good practice to triangulate. However, your low poly wireframe shows some polys triangulated and others not. Are you sure you're triangulating the entire mesh?
What you're asking for is a specular map. First make one good Alpha map for masking the hair. Then figure out your materials as solid colors and mask them off with the same alpha. Here's a few tips for you: Straighten your UV shells so they're mostly going along one axis. The way you have them at a 45° angle creates choppy…

Your website is also very cool, I love gumdrop. I was just experimenting really with Unreal Engine to see if I could create a model and import it.…

This seems to be sitting in a weird place between high and low poly right now. Decide what you want to do and go for that. A lot of the time you can optimize your high-poly to make your low-poly, and if you haven't gotten the hang of baking, now is the perfect time to get some practice in. For a high poly, I would go…
Moose, I had absolutely no problem driving drunk in the game... must be from my real world practice.... . . . . I kid, I kid! :poly106: Seriously, though, most of the 'drunkeness' is your camera being all jacked up. They did the same trick in Vice City when you had to help the one redneck dude get to the hospital after he…
