Hey all ! :) Was cleaning up some code on my 2017-2018 codebase and stumbled upon this old piece of work that i did for PolygonFlow's first iteration last year; a basic licensing function that worked with Gumroad license keys. <code>urllib2 def gumroadLicenseChecker(license_key, user_email, check="true",…
Hi! What kind of object is this? Probably the cleanest solution would be to fix up the highpoly and re-bake. If you want remove the edges in the normal map, you could duplicate the layer and blur it until the edges are no longer visible. Then mask in the blurred result on top of the original normal map. Of course the…

Hello again! As we move forward to the 5th week of the project, we are just 3 weeks ahead for the delivery day. Most of the big work has already been done but we still have a lot to do in these days that we have left. First of all the main levels are already in a good progress and most of the blockout has already been…
They had changed the default for the scale tool but switched it back in the first service pack. If you're talking about not being able to scale after certain operations I've run into that too, I think it has to do with the new pinning system and durring some operations verts get pinned but not visually updated and there is…
Hey there, Nicko. I've been looking at these and I think it's a good start. A couple things come to mind, which I guess relate to one point- Your designs haven't convinced me these monsters are going to function well. 1. In 2007, Game Informer had a cover story where they interviewed the makers of Fallout 3. Something from…
Assuming you're doing things yourself, I'd recommend Unity. Its much easier to rapidly iterate a useful product even if you're "doing it wrong". UDK and Unity are both highly capable, but they each are a different philosophy of "how to make a game". Which one resonates with you, and what your end goal is, will determine…
Think about repeating design motifs. And don't lose silhouette read as you're detailing out the character. Look at it as pure black on white to make sure it still reads. C has that circle-target-hipbone symbol thing on the outer thigh and we don't see anything mirroring that anywhere else. C has that triangular pope-hat…
Eric, Thanks for your reply. I'll look forward to these types of features. Keep up the great work. You and your team have developed some excellent tools. For now, when generating PBR materials from photographs, we can consult the reflectance values per material in your XML files (/PhysicsLookup) for some good suggestions.…
