those are dynamic shadows. the editor hides them once the object gets too far away from the camera. if you want "real" shadows you need to bake them. 1. make sure the model you exported has 2 unwrap channels, 1 for textures and the 2nd as a unique unwrap for shadows. (if your asset doesnt have a 2nd unwrap and you cant get…
there's a night market? I thought that one with the scorpions is in beijing ;) Here's my recommendations: for an awesome bar, check out the one on top of the jin mao tower in the hyatt hotel at floor 85 - cool! for a great weekend trip, check out one of the water towns. I recommend Wuzhen (2hr drive with the taxi). Check…

I just picked up the model pack to take a look at it. The OBJ file you'll be importing into blender won't have a bone structure set up, so you'll need to follow a rigging tutorial to be able to animate the characters. For rigging and animating, I'd recommend this tutorial:…
Hey Brian, sorry for that comment. Its obvious there's a lot of work in there, 10k lines of code is no joke. It was worth it for me. I'd say the reason for that comment is a lot UVNinja is accessing Maya commands through MEL. My issue with that is a lot of maya's UV commands are a bit unreliable. smoothUV sometimes explode…

And I would often find myself spending way too much time on cleaning and polishing the lines in order to make the art more precise and pretty. So it was…
Thank you for stopping by Jessie. :) I like to stop by your sketchbook; its mood is generally very lighthearted and uplifting. It's interesting and doesn't interfere with my own mood or mindset, so definitely keep posting. :thumbup: I don't generally like bumping this thread without an art update, working on this one at…
Stopped playing video games. Stopped watching Movies and Tv shows (they are mostly shit anyways). Kicked Energy-Vampire "friends" out of my life. Also i stopped doing ANY amount of overtime, no matter how much resistance i get. I don't care if they fire me. That gave me back 10-15 hours per week. I am using all the time…
taking a percent of a percent, he seems to impress 12% to 14% of the country. Now that may seem scary but around the same number of Americans think Obama is the antichrist and that didn't stop him from being a two term president. I mean they think he is actually heralding in the biblical end of times! The people who would…
