Re: Texture splatting - Grass
Ok, round 2. I made a new texture and built a heightmap.

Re: Young Genie/Gypsy Girl Model
Yay! I think I'm gettin there. Reduced her by a lot. She's at 3248 faces/ 6194 tris. I stuck to 3 and 4 sided polygons. I guess tris it is then. :D Neavah: I can understand the 45 degree angle, but what about her arms going up instead of down? I read somewhere about the importance of limbs sticking straight out for… -
PS5, Series X, (Google Stadia-RIP) Other next gen consoles, lets get on down to specifics
As the PS5 and XBox2 are now widely talked about being in development at particular studios with what might be a 2019 or more likely 2020 release date, I was wondering if we could start getting on down to some technical performance chit chat.

Re: Monitor Questions

Re: New tool for Maya -- AutoHighPoly! (beta)
Hopefully you dont mind, but I made a fix for you so that it will work in 2015. The function for polybevel had different attr names that was causing errors.
