Not directly gamedev related (or possibly even actual "getting a job" skills related), I've personally found functional programming to be a fascinating topic. I suggest SICP as a brain expanding experience. pdf versions, videos. Why learn a crazy language like a LISP? read Beating the Averages, and a quote from How To…
e-freak, if you want Unity to default to 1.0 you can do something like this: Put a text file (javascript) in ...\Assets\Editor\ImportSettings.js (make the folder if needed.) Paste this code into it and save it: [COLOR="SeaGreen"]// This function will over write the default Unity import scale of…
@Malcolm The edge mapping is good, for mapping tubes and stuff, has an option to unitize those UVs. Normalizing with certain values of U and V. UV Snap alignment, you can overlay a bunch of slightly different meshes and have the UVs snap to a target shell so that are all overlaid properly. Select interior UVs, or select…
Well the branch function in wrapIt would be good for some pieces. I don't think there is a one button solution for this like there is for organic stuff. If you choose to optimize some pieces that are pretty dense instead of building the low from scratch, the dot loop, dot ring functions in Graphite Modeling Tools are…
"if you think it's dirty... make it dirtier?" Jesus... Like SF said, they need to teach how to think about dirt and where/why it collects and the type of wear and tear elements have on structures... i don't know what kind of class you're taking. It may have been mentioned before, i'm at work though... so i'm not going to…
I like it so far. Bit of a shame that you're wanting to call it a day on this one. In terms of modularity, you've got this part right; an entire modular platform asset that's usable. If you planned on taking it further, you could build an entire train platform, complete with a building at the back. Which station are your…
Focusing on proportions and learning subdivision modeling would help. Try using polypaint to help sort disorganized detail into more orderly, congruent areas. When adding detail, ask yourself if it plays a functional role; in the case of a cyborg, does it make sense from a engineering / mechanical / electrical standpoint?…
"Or did they add functionality now to save out older formats? At least I can't spot anything like that in 2021.7.1" That would be my question too. I feel like they will have no choice but to add this functionality to ensure compatibility with 2022.0.5, which is the version that many will stick to. The file format changing…
I'm almost 100% confident that you could build 4 7950/4090 boxes with that money and get your work done faster what are you going to use it for ? and yeah - I dont see the 5090 being particularly revolutionary. faster yes but there's nothing really new there. It's only got 28gb because the capacity is a function of the…
