Where to go from here (Character artist career advice)
Hey everyone, I just wanted to ask a few questions about the outlook of my career as I do feel pretty lost atm.

A solution to Normal Maps with mirrored UV's in UDK.
So I don't know if this is common knowledge or very obvious, but I decided to share since I didn't find this solution through google.

Here's where I'm at: I wanted to see if it would be possible to quickly bake something very complex (like FiberMesh fur/hair, for example) to a fur shell. The idea would be that… -
Health, nutrition, and stamina as an artist.
As I get older my stamina is getting lower. I am just starting in 3D, and have done 2D drawings and sketches for many years. I am 41 and I have trouble sitting on my desk, drawing stuff for more than an hour at maximum. Yesterday I drew a school bus (with Mad Max twist) during a break time on the set.
