Re: WIP: Desert Straggler
All the organic stuff in my environment is done! I replaced the expensive plant meshes I once had that had each individual leaf as a mesh, and replaced them with transparent plane geometry that takes each plant from 1,000 polys to about 10.

Re: breaking the barrier
It sounds like an OK short term plan but prepare yourself for "living" after the date comes and goes. Depending on your workout TGZ, you might need more protein, you might want to snack on nuts or toss some beans in the mix. you can look online for the kinds that contain the most protein and least amount of fat and bad… -

Re: Couple of questions about WoW style environments, one regarding UV layout
Thanks for the replies. Rhinokey - I think I might give the AO bake a miss, you're 100% right in my opinion by saying that it could ruin the look I'm going for. I think if I just try and paint in what shadow I can see then it might look better. As for the in-engine thing... I've used UnrealEd a bunch of times already (long… -
Re: Tooth Fairy Box Prop_WIP
