Re: Confusion with Normal baking issues around edges/borders
Hi! Perhaps I should have kept it more digestible, like: 'With an high to lowpoly approach, I would closer match the highpoly and improve the highpolys edges/shading'. But as so often with this 3D stuff, I find there's not an 'one and only way', but different options that can be combined based on the situation. And when… -
Re: Bake artifact - Help pls
Hi! Yes, it's the "Mark Sharp" command. With objects that have angles of various degree, I like to set the autosmooth to 180 degrees (all smooth) and then manually mark edges sharp where it's necessary.

Re: AI
This is where your argument falls down somewhat. It is not easy to come up with a simple model to predict ("anticipate") what a player is going to do and how to appropriately react, let alone across a variety of different environmental and non-environmental conditions.

For example, "Concept - From story to gameplay, right down to the basic stuff such as play styles etc Art - Concept art, low poly placeholders, basic rigid structures etc Design - Polishing… -

Hair feedback and advice
Hi I'd like some feedback and advice regarding my generated and baked hair. I've followed two courses now - one by Johan Lithvall and another by Andre Pires, which is a very similar workflow to Johan's. However, with the hair I've made, and since, mine always looks like straw. :-\ I've even tried adjusting the shader in… -
