As okidoki mentioned above, we have a wiki with tons of curated resources. We even have example character meshes! http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/BaseMesh And tons of example wireframes to examine and learn from http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/BodyTopology http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Limb_Topology
Just a quick side note, if you wanted to go ask other devs (not on p.c.) say youtube videos or channels(as an example), about how their devs worked around these issues you might turn up some helpful, time saving feedback, that is IF they respond to it. Alternatively some peeps that have already fixed this could also just…
Each update I waste some time to see if Substance Sampler AI does anything useful finally and always just shrug and go away. Image to material usually does something just marginally better than old crazy bump . Ads halos around height details and looks same awful at sharp light angles. Surprisingly it sometimes works…
In 1990 games for NES sometimes were sold at 50 dollars if they were brand new or really popular, sometimes more.

@Sidney Eliot Generally speaking, these shadow issues are fundamental to all renderers, not specific to Toolbag. There are some tricks that can be done in raster rendering engines to soften shadow faceting somewhat, but as you note in the last part of your post it's a problem there too. The software can only render shadows…
Yes you should always extrapolate, if you make a pathtraced offline rendering model you can be lazier but in realtime and in general if you want it to look good you need to add more artistic touch and think how the surfaces would be worn off based on physical logic and define those out more. On a screen and in varied…
I'm applying to The Game Assembly this spring, aiming for the game art education. Looking for feedback/critiques on my application. For example, which is the weakest piece? Have a look!
