I'll keep a long story short, I've been trying to get a good visual representation of one of my characters, I saw this as an oppertunity to get better at many manors of design, at the moment I'm trying to get better at sculpting via zbrush. The target is a young teen girl roughly 14 - 18 years old. for the moment I'm… -
Re: UV mapping and Retopology (Current and future State)
Maya 2017/18 auto unwrap/packing tools are pretty much all you need - it matches (or often betters) results I was seeing from custom in-house algorithms used on a couple of quite well known titles I worked on and is about 1000 times faster.

Re: Spending your time outside of work
I used to go home and play video games every night after work, but that only kept up for the first half year or so.

Now I play video games rarely after work, maybe only an hour or two… -

Like others have said, appreciate the time you have with your family. Helping out around the house seems like a weird suggestion but it helps. I would… -
Re: Texture Dilemma - Achieving realism for Sai Weapon
I would focus on the metalness workflow for PBR. Improve the density of your model as well, it looks a bit too low poly especially on the curved sections. After reviewing your textures, you have loads of wasted UV space. Re map your mesh and use as much of the 0 to 1 space as possible. Did you make a high poly version of… -

Wow appreciate the responses, some great tips and advice here. It's really good to know that it can be done alongside a full time job.
