Re: DIE INDUSTRY DIE!
Enter the Matrix sold like MAD, but its really an exception to the rule, do not ever bring up that game as an example.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 inspired Game Environment, Third-Year Uni Project
The past week has been pretty slow, mostly watching tutorials and planning / discussing ideas. I was really inspired by this concept by Chris Doretz of what looks like a plastic quarantine tunnel running through a damaged hospital area. It looked like it would introduce some really cool opportunities for lighting and also… -
Most efficient strategies for texturing modular architecture assets?
Hey Polycount. I have been researching this topic for a while now, and I know that there are normally multiple ways to go about it.
