Re: Confusion with Normal baking issues around edges/borders
Hi! Perhaps I should have kept it more digestible, like: 'With an high to lowpoly approach, I would closer match the highpoly and improve the highpolys edges/shading'. But as so often with this 3D stuff, I find there's not an 'one and only way', but different options that can be combined based on the situation. And when… -
Re: How do I UV this?
Hi! Yes, like that (loop of selected edge). You can merge both halves together along one side, so you end up with one UV island. Here is an example on Sketchfab that seems to do it that way (you can check UVs in the viewer). UVs like that make it easy to simplify the model (LODs) without breaking them. Btw, I assumed this… -
Re: AI
This is where your argument falls down somewhat. It is not easy to come up with a simple model to predict ("anticipate") what a player is going to do and how to appropriately react, let alone across a variety of different environmental and non-environmental conditions. Players are by their nature very unpredictable, which… -

Re: Hi All... Care to answer a few easy questions?

For example, "Concept - From story to gameplay, right down to the basic stuff such as play styles etc Art - Concept art, low poly placeholders, basic rigid structures etc Design - Polishing… -

Hair feedback and advice
Hi I'd like some feedback and advice regarding my generated and baked hair. I've followed two courses now - one by Johan Lithvall and another by Andre Pires, which is a very similar workflow to Johan's. However, with the hair I've made, and since, mine always looks like straw. :-\ I've even tried adjusting the shader in… -

Latest version: (disclaimer, the "visibility" icon is ripped right from Silo, I'm too lazy to do my own yet!) <u>Overview</u> - My main changes here are shuffling around all the existing tools and settings into a more standard Windows interface. - All of the "most-used" features are in collapsible headings on the…
