Re: Issue with baking my normal map
If for some reason you still want to get rid of unnecessary loops. For example in case of mobile game or if your game show first lod on replays and cut scenes only. You still can manipulate the normals responsible for shading "corners" directly . Sometimes it's enough just copy normal from a vertex outside the hole to one… -

yet another retopo or not thread
So I have heard numerous times here that hard-surface retopo is a big no-no in production. Why? Because if people want to change something afterwards it's hard to change high poly in any sculpting app for example. But then I see how Redstorm[ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd3-6t59uU0&index=40&list=WL"] uses this… -
Re: Should I practice with triangles if I want to work in games industry?

So that's the thing that you need to learn first. Modeling with a useful topology. And there are plenty ways to achieve this.… -

The music FAR outweighs your demoreel's ability to impress a sense of magnificence. Each time the music kicks in the viewer is presented with a lackluster vista. The waterfall isn't horrible,… -
Re: Older work and its impact on the hiring process.
... I must say you have an uncanny ability to take an example used to illustrate a concept (like here the example of modeling and UV skills) and misinterpret it as some kind of absolute statement :D *Of course* there are pipelines that don't involve manual retopo and UVs. My point is, *IF* I am looking for someone to do… -
Re: Combine High Poly Bake & Trimsheet ?
An Atlas texture is a file with all the textures in it. For example the albedo. If you want to use trimsheets you just need to do the UVs over the image. Is compatible, you could do an Atlas of the trimsheets. In that image what is reusing is the geometry (albedo, normal and everything) of a wooden plank or a log. You can…
