I'd like this thread to be about anything photography related, from advice about cameras if you're thinking about purchasing, or even discussion about lighting equipment and lighting modifiers. Some basic info: The…
Hey Mitchell, Here's an essay for you (I don't expect anybody else to read this so I'll address it to you! ;) There's little to no documentation on this area so I'll make a start now.

I'm 26, I've been coming to Polycount for about 14 years, really working on my 3D and texture skills for about 11, and as of last Friday I…
