Re: Quick 'how to' guide for a wannabe environmental artist
Texturing is the literal painting of the texture maps. Imagine painting on a bear skin rug to wrap it around a bear later. Applying Materials in Unreal is jusut saying "This texture applies to this model, Unreal." There's little to no painting involved. Your texture painting drives the actual look. Film modeling can get by… -
Re: The Beast - Questions and Answers
Okay, I am having the image issue as well. I am familiar with how to upload images to polycount and I am familiar with how to put an imugr link up to display an image but that isn't working either.

Re: Making sense of hard edges, uvs, normal maps and vertex counts

There is a whole lot more you need to know, but this… -

Re: gog.com shut down
I have a feeling there will be drastic changes, why announce that you are leaving beta with words like "unfortunately". I'm surprised you don't see any issue with this Adam, when Polycount was relaunched I don't recall any message that sounded like a half apology, the general gist was "Polycount is coming back better than… -
Re: single or multiple objects into one uv map?
Hey! This is indeed a useful skill, and we do have lots of resources to help explain it (and many experienced artists here who do it!). An atlas is one way to do this kind of workflow, where all the UVs are contained within the 0,1 uv space. You can mirror and stack UVs to reuse space, for example to UV both left and right… -

The Beast: forest musician
The forest musician: There were many scary stories about horrible moaning and strange sounds heard from deep taiga at nights. People belived that it was a huge forest giant that eats lost peolpe and cattle. No one surely knows how he looks, but many folks know his strange song. In reality he has been singing his sad song… -
