Re: AI Usage in Indie Games
I'd say it's not worth it to use LLM's for the vast majority of current use cases across *all* of the possible uses of AI. The main reason boils down to it being a short term "gain" for long term loss. When you use gen ai you are outsourcing thinking to it (for example you use it to generate concept art, the questions of… -

Holy Moly!: It's like xmas :) Nice of him to expose himself to radiation fer the sake of art/science research! ( example pics of radiation death from the early days of retail shoe sale flouroscopy machines are pretty gruesome ! ) If u were going in for surgery anyway however... someone should create a:… -
Triangle focused head topology?
Ok so I'm currently working on something that requires me to figure out a face topology and pretty much stick to it, and the end result will be triangulated. I always see head topology based on quad edge flow, but what about for triangulated meshes? When you triangulate an even quad mesh you have uneven triangles, new… -
Re: Stuck on a very basic modeling problem - resolving complex poles
@Alex_J thank you very much for your explanation. Your answer helped me identify the issue with the phong shading happening with Cinema 4D yesterday.

Re: Shakiness in Maya Animation
Hi! Tbh I'm not sure how okidoki's example can help add noise to animation curves, I mean with some technical knowledge you could hack together some kind of node network that would grab a position of a point from a noise texture and use it to drive a position of a controller on an animation curve, but I shudder to think… -

Re: Help with molded plastic shapes/transitions (weapon modeling)
@Boosted24v Not a problem, you're welcome. You're definitely on the right track. it's just about finding a process that works well with your available tool set and getting those fine details down. There's many different ways to approach creating the base mesh. Some artists prefer non-destructive workflows and others are… -
Re: The wonders of technical art (Unreal Engine)
I would like to share something with you guys, that I discovered some time ago, but I didn't have nice use cases to show it off. Now in the ray marcher, it saves me a lot of time, and simplifies and shortens the hlsl code that I actually need to write. Hopefully it will be useful for someone else too. It is about adding… -
Re: ZBrush - Hypothetical ultimate feature list
mmm, well I've had lights breaking when trying to use the mats customize utility to setup a scene once or twice, if that could never happen that would be great, it used to also get "lost" behind that preview sphere (you could click) to put the light behind the object, which kind sucked the 1st few times. Forget why i had… -
Re: Environment artist - Intro & Portfolio critique,
Just a quick portfolio review of your artstation - I like your colours, and I like your moods. I like your ability to previsualize a very, very early mood sketch. But if you want more work in the games industry as a concept artist, then I'd like to see more specific examples of 'designing' self contained assets. Right now…
