How do I bake a correct normal from a hollow sphere?
So, I've made a hollow sphere in 3DS Max and cannot get a good bake on the inside portion of the mesh. Here is the UV layout: Here is the resulting normal map from xNormal: I've made sure there are no overlapping/inverted polygons on the UV shells at all, and I still have no idea how to fix the artifacting issue. -

Re: gamedev English
It's more to do with studio size and regulation. once you get past a certain size you legally need HR and once you have HR you have rules about how you speak to people and they're enforced by people who are payed to not have a sense of humour -

Re: A good starting point for low poly modelling?
Hey guys, just a quick update. In between implementing some proper 3D collision detection in my engine, I've had a play around with Lightwave and Blender. Somehow I prefer lightwave by far. The interface is so clean and simple, and the straight forward tab/menu layout makes it very easy to find what you need. I've had a… -
Re: How do you solve cuts in the Uvs?

Search Poly Wiki for more know how on how to unwrap properly. Also note SEAMS (cuts) are unavoidable and there are tricks at play to make the effect less… -

I once used a script that transferred the selected edges and maya to photoshop, creating a ready-made normal map with rounded edges. Has anyone seen anything like this? (I tried Quixel Suite/nDo, but they didn't give me what I needed...) -
Re: Made a High Poly Tire Tread, What Now?

Re: How to approach dynamic sky environments for aircraft and the like?
To add back somewhat while slowly working on this over time: https://noclip.website/ is an amazing resource to break down how classic titles - mostly Nintendo - created their worlds, including skies. Pretty calming to see that - say - the clouds in KH2's Agrabah are just a very verrry simple scrolling texture while the… -
Networking, how much does it come into play?
Exactly how integral is networking to the job acquisition process? Is it more valuable than actual skill itself? I was at a networking event not to long ago and a couple of professionals were having a heated debate on the matter; one argued that there are too many applications that lost daily and that one has an easier…
