Thanks for the encouragement, its appreciated. Recovering from the typical New Year drinking has slowed me down so before finishing of the thread Im going drop in a general tips list for doing this stuff. Tips 1. Dont forget its not really Hi poly work, its generous lowpoly work that uses hi poly assets to render out…
Thank you guys for the amazing feedback! I'll do my best to answer as thoroughly as possible. Bartalon: Thank you for linking to the latest version. This will make it into the next build. Jaidek: Yes! In 3DO you can turn PBR off, and when you set up your project you can load the "Base Definition" preset to quickly bake in…
here's a custom status bar i use, has a scripted version of the tti that works with subobject selections. Currently needs work, has some bugs and i'm sure there's a lot of redundant code,but the functionality is there. Haven't spent much time on rotate or scale. Careful with selecting large amounts of edges or faces in a…

pior that looks great! The more I dig into blender the more I like it. So far I've only dug into modeling, which has some great workflows and dabbled in unwrapping. Some of the unwrapping tools feel a bit old and probably need to be updated, they'll probably get to it but I'm not sure when. I think the "nondestructive…
This piqued my interest so I hacked a macroscript I'd cobbled together a while back for turning sprites into 3d objects (it's a hack squared) It appears to work - it's not fully automated or clever but I actually got some decent results out of it bad things : It starts from a very inefficient mesh (quad per pixel) and…
I really wanted to love the device. Its sooo close to being everything I want but ultimately there were a number of issues that led to me returning it for a refund. I went for the top model (i7 512 gb). My thinking being that 8gigs of ram are a requirement and 512 gigs of hd space would be nice for future proofing etc.…
This is going to be a little out of order, because I want to get to the most important thing first. Also, I'm not getting in-depth on everything, because I'm sick and it takes a stupid amount of effort to focus on this stuff. This right here? This is where the big breakdown in communication is happening. There are two…
Feel free to add to this. I'd like to spread some awareness of the spectral properties of light because I think it'd help artists (and anyone who deals with lighting and materials really) to be aware of. I'm not an expert so please correct me if there's anything wrong or unclear, but hopefully you'll find this crashcourse…
EDIT 06/24/16: After two weeks, it became increasingly clear to me that moving toward a rich district was not the right thing to do. So I've scrapped the idea of an Indian/Scandinavian style - not to say it will never get done, but it definitely won't be part of this pack. However, I've been hard at work polishing…
