Hello! I have tried to use custom attributes for tools that I want to make but I get a undefined function or class when I open the scene that has a object with my custom attributes. Usually I add all the function by hand inside the custom attributes but I started to learn about FileIn() that seem really usefull to me.…
In their defense, practicality is part of design. But we ARE making VIDEO GAME characters...there will be some stuff that will kinda stand out and just appeal to aesthetics rather than function. I think high heels would be one of them, unless the character utilizes her feet in some way that high heels would seem dumb to…

So if your after MatID 2…
Hmmm... I am not really a big fan of the bottom part of the helmet that you made. I mean, while what you are making looks cool, its becoming more and more difficult to recognize what's what. By this I mean, all the detail you are making, while being cool; is making it kind of noisy and not aiding to add to the overall…
It’s one of those concepts you can stare at for ages. Every time, a new story starts to form in your head. I knew I had to turn it into a 3D environment eventually.
