In both MAx and Blender re-projecting UV is almost impossible perfectly if your projecting target has much different edge flow around UV seams . I project UV to lods and if UV seam edges are too decimated it often does a kind of overlapping , wandering away UV vertexes. Both Blender and MAx have special "projecting seams"…
I don't really buy into the notion that the nature of the game industry is to temporary for a union to be effective. Seems like even more of a reason to have protections established by an empowered agreement! An agreement should be smart enough to require employers to include fair compensation in cases like a Team Bondi…
Voting with your feet. If you don't like it, then leave. Those are conservative views, not liberal, hope that helps. It presupposes that a person can leave at any time and no outside factors could come into play which is demonstrably false. You're making it sound like the boss asked him to make stylized characters when he…

I know deep down inside your right, parts of this project has been added from imagination and lack real reference on composition and concept. Most objects have been modeled from reference of course.

Hi. I like your project and I'm interested in collaboration if possible. I am not a UE guy so I can't really help with that but I have a lot of experience (20 years) with many rendering techniques and plugins so I was wondering why you want to switch from Arnold? Maybe there is a better alternative than UE. I mainly use…
Based on A_Bs approach i found a decent solution. I achieved the overlapping blades of grass effect using different shades of green in my „Lerp-Alpha-Texture“ (mine is white and green instead of green and white or black and white). :) I place flat square shaped models with a polycount of 4 and rotate them the way i need,…
I didn't touch this project for a few weeks - because I was doing work for small competition. Now I'm free, and started to adding detalization on the location
If they're 18 years old with "the best game idea ever," avoid at all costs unless at least half paid up front. If they're actually an established, real/physical business with multiple people working = less likely chance they will screw you over. Half-paid upfront seems common. So is payment across milestones for larger…
