Re: [UE4] Modular Building Set Breakdown
@I01 - Thanks a lot! Yeah of course. It's really different to be honest for each individual just depending on how you like to work. For me personally, I always start with the normal map.

Re: How do you deal with a client that doesn't pay?
If you work for big clients, big publisher, client with a good reputation and client you have worked with in the past, getting paid after sending the model is usually not an issue.

Re: Tips for Modelling a Forest Environment

Re: How fast can you learn a new software package?
It usually depends on the software for me, I picked up max in a few months, though i'd had a couple of years prior experience learning Maya in college, though i'm still not very good at rigging or animation (or texture creation, but i recently got the Substance Indie pack to help with that.)

Re: RTS style models project - 18th Century China
Hey Josh, thanks for the kind words on my work, and yeah got lazy when it came to showing some of the texture sheets:) Usually, it is always better to spend a few more polys to get more out of your texture space ( as texture is usually the heavier hitter to an engine than polys ).
