Normal bake comes out completely black every time
I am in 3dsmax and I cannot make my normals bake on my model for some reason, no matter what settings or anything I do to anything. The viewport preview shows it just fine, but the preview is completely unreliable and useless, and the texture of the bake itself is 100% solid black. If I make a new scene with new props the… -
Normal map compression
Howdy. I wonder if any of you are using compressed normal maps? We're about to start supporting it in our engine. For a 256x256 map, it's a filesize savings of like 55%... 192Kb for 24bit TGA vs. 86Kb for DXT5.

Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
I hate to break it to you but that isn't a new normal - it's just normal. The motivating factors have changed but the result is the same. This is an incredibly labor intensive industry that works on spec. You simply cannot afford to sustain a large, permanent base of employees if you don't have a constant revenue stream -… -

Maya 2016 - UE4 - Vertex Normals for Grass (need help)
For the better part of 3 days now I have tried to get this damn grass in UE4 to look properly. No matter what I do I get some odd effects with the normals and shading. I know that previously I would have used the "dome" and transferred the normals from that to the foliage, but that doesnt seem to work either. I have tried…
