General lightmap/baking questions I can't find a definite answer to
These are mostly general lighting questions that can apply to most engines, but since I'm working in Unity, I'll post here: 1. For all my assets, Ive just set them to generate lightmaps. After I bake, I get an error stating that 2000+ items have overlapping UVs. Though the bake looks fine. Do I need to worry about making… -
Re: Best Game Engine to use?
this is more of a for fun, "see if we can do it" project. the group is all students, and we just thought it'd be cool to try it out.

Re: Substance Designer > Painter workflow ?
Hey Julien, I have some experience with Designer/Painter pipeline. I'll preface this with I am a Material/Environment Artist. I've done a lot of research on the topic and I've described to one of our Tech Artists what I'd like to see in the pipeline and he has implemented the more technical side of things.

hmm, I'll try to be more simple since most of the fellow polycounters do not understand my message at all, or do not intend to. "No offense."
