Yea simplygon is great. Hands down best LOD tool out there. The thing that impresses me the most is that it handles doing LODs on skeletal meshes and it can respect/preserve morph targets on those skeletal meshes. So lets say you have a morph target that makes your character obese, that shape holds up through the LODs. The…
Hi there! In 2021, I started looking for a new hobby that could become a job. My choice fell on modeling miniatures from polymer clay. Since I was a child I love miniatures.

I originally studied industrial design in a very strong program with a heavy emphasis on fundamentals. This I believe is key. When you're able…
The straw in that diagram would be the part I was rambling about squirrels getting in to -- it settles over time and naturally has gaps (honestly, why no one thought of using bales until recently is beyond me).

The default ones aren't that grand, it also doesn't help that most tutorials don't cover indepth these stuff and you need to read the PDF, which gets installed in the XN…
