Why We Sleep - read this if you are sleeping less than eight hours a night
I've slept less than eight hours a night regularly for most of my life. This behaviour was based on my work schedule in high school and working in the games industry. I suspect many of you also sleep less than eight hours a night thanks to crunch time and working late on projects. I listened to Joe Rogan interview… -
Thick modular meshes in games. Why?
I've noticed it a lot in recent games like Oblivion Remastered, God of War Ragnarok, etc. The modular meshes have thickness for some reason, even if they are tileable or unique. But some games like AC: Mirage have all their meshes thin. What's exactly the point of thickness here? Example from Ragnarok -
Arm and Wrist Pain - how did you dealt with them?
Recently I decided to get back into 3D after abandoning it for as much as a decade, and today after only 6 hours of Blender, I was swiftly reminded why I had to drop it in the first place - arm pain, specifically in these two places here: I already know how this is going to play out - my arm will feel weaker and the… -

When and Why to form an LLC?
Hi everyone! So, I have a question for all of the freelancers, company owners, and others who are off doing their own thing. When and Why did you or don't you form an LLC? I've been freelancing f/t (or close to) since late 2013 or so. I've been doing it as a Sole Proprietor, or independent contractor if you will. I don't… -
Re: Why most 3D artists are so obsessed with recreating reality?
I wasn't talking about realism, I was talking about reality. The thing I don't understand is why artists value and respect the ability to faithfully recreate an actual object in 3D more than the ability to come up with an interesting idea of a thing unseen before. And I specifially mean artists, not people. People - you… -
Re: [MAYA 2016] Unlock / Lock normals changes normals? why? is there a fix?
Hey, The reason for not wanting to rebake is that we have variations of a base meshes that share the same normal map. so rebaking for the edited mesh will break it for the rest of the variations. This is why locking the normals is so important. I think the tangent thing is a bug. i posted on the autodesk forums and they… -

Wasn't much information available on it (Master). Torque: Been there. Done that. Got the t-shirt. Not going back. UDK: Been an… -
UV Layout Why is this wrong for games?
So I hear so many conflicting things and I'm hoping someone can help me out here. Talking specifically for games: Are Overlapping UVs acceptable or not? Why or why not? Do I have to stay in the 0-1 space of a UV map or can I put some UV shells in the other available space? If so, why or why not? I built a simple wall and…
