Re: What is the consensus on 3DConnexion hardware?
@thomasp Honestly you seem to have been pretty consistent with your mindset and not at all confusing ;) The three buttons seem to vary in consistency as Wacom isnt very consistent with how tough they are to press so I may just be very unlucky. The third button though is fantastic for a multi display setup as I have it… -
Re: Low poly baking issues (NEW)
Hi! Sure, you can swap/modify the low poly as you like - reminds of LODs - but be aware: As the normal maps' function is to compensate for the shading-difference between highpoly and the mesh that was baked to, the greater the shading-difference of shading of the mesh being used and the mesh that was originally baked to,… -

Re: Mac to PC (Rebuying Software Concern)

Re: In need of interview advice
When in doubt, get your dice out. Something that I've always found to be helpful in interviews is to have a 'cracker' statement, that you can pull out early on. Interviewers don't try to give too much away, unless they know they like the individual, which means that you need to establish the fact that you're more than just… -
Re: Unpopular opinions -- get it out of your chest
It's okay... There's no crying in Polycount. On the thread topic... -I do not understand the obsession with decorating desks with figurines in our industry. I get it if you're decorating your desk/cube with swag from previous titles you've worked on, but the whole "I have 50+ Amiibos and 20 obscure anime figurines on my… -
Re: Modular Environment Pivot Question....
A is by far the easiest, but may not be suitable if you need precise control over interior dimensions (ie: tile/grid based gameplay). You want this pivot to be as universal as possible so you can swap modular components on the fly, add pillars and trim pieces etc. -
Re: need some help with sprite eye / expression techniques
I think I'm leaning toward the floating alpha eyes now, because we're going to be adding skin texture swaps, and it'll be easiest if all that info is in one texture below. It'll be more expensive but I'll see how far I can get with cutout shaders. Thanks for tossing some ideas around. I haven't planned for a large scale… -
