https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2020-07-30-whats-wrong-with-hr-and-how-can-it-be-fixed I thought this article was insightful. In my experience, HR at game companies has always been there as a shield for the company, not for the employees. It's essentially a way to shield a company from lawsuits. I think most people…
hi, I'm trying out transferring maps from a high poly to low poly mesh. Im starting on a small piece (the head rest) of a racing car. Ive managed to bake the normals ok, but when trying to bake ambient occlusion I'm getting this strange spelling effect :-/ Would anybody know where i may be going wrong? Im guessing its…

And applied a Smooth Modifier to the stack, turned on autosmooth and lowered the threshhold to like 0.1 (might aswell go with 0). Collapse stack on that and export.

Players will be able to buy one of a limited number of chisels to improve their tapping strength. An iron chisel - 10 times more powerful than the default tap - costs 59 pence. The diamond…
http://cf.blogetery.com/26770/files/2009/07/line_textures.jpg This looks like a decent starting texture for hair direction. Getting into curls and frizzy hair is entirely different story. direction map are in xnormal. I have no idea how to set it up yet though.

3D plugins and Flash viewers are still going to be passed over by some reviewers. You don't want to require someone to install a plugin to view your work, or sit through a loading progress bar. You can add plugin content, but it's still best to have 2D images as your main portfolio source. They're hands-down the quickest…
