Re: Is selling fanart 3D models for 3D printing illegal?
It stops being fan-art when you try to sell it. At that point it stops being commentary or "fair use" and it becomes a for-profit endeavor, which becomes infinity more complicated because you're selling Intellectual Property that you don't own. The reason your fan art gets notice is because someone else invested in… -
3ds Max - Placing UV shells on top of each other
Hi, Is there an easy way to place identical UV shells exactly on top of each other in Max? (to share the same texture) I haven't found any other ways than quick planar mapping the shells that I want to stack, but it doesn't always work - any better ideas? -
Overlapping UV shells and AO map issues...
Hey all - I know to overlap UVs where you can to save texture space etc. But, how does this work with AO maps?

Re: Reflections on The Game Industry as a 3D Artist
The industry is in a super unstable place right now. Sure, games are selling like crazy, but production costs have exploded so much that it’s getting harder and harder for devs to even break even, let alone make a profit.

Re: New plugin for maya that find overlap of UVs shells
@Roman_Lukyanov Besides overlap detection, Maya has a native way to offset the selected shells by 1 tile (or any fraction of tile). You can do it from UV Toolkit Transform submenu on the right side of UV Editor. Admittedly your script some extra functionality, but in 99.99% scenarios you just have to offset all stacked and… -
Re: Computer scientists add smell to games
Those smells can be pure sex to other people :) One thing to remember, it wont be accurate, as most sounds for games aren't accurate, they're made to sound cool, guns are made to be sound cool, cars are made to be sound cool in most games too, so when you're playing that shooter the developers would cocktail together the… -
