SBSAR vs PNG -- my substances look drastically different - am I missing something?
Hello all, I'm not sure why this is, but when I am trying to view my Substance Designer creations in Toolbag 2, I was under the impression that we could just use the actual SBSAR file in TB2 and get a 1:1 between different programs. I'm aware that the shading models between different PBR setups could be different, which… -

Re: My first game ready character ( i hope )
Hi Mehdi, looking good! :) For the retopo, you should first decide the polygon budget your aiming to. This depends on what you want to practice on.

Landscape and roads
Hi everyone I'm making a pretty big scene of a city in UE5, using realworld terrain data. So the question is what is the best approach to make roads and pavements?
