The edges travelling up the back make a dogleg above the buttocks. It would be much better if the lines of edges flow in straighter lines…

Thanks. I was thinking that about the LODs as well. The major difference between the LOD_0 and 1 is that balls on the end are round in the LOD_0. I figured, if there is a problem with the total polygons, I'd use LOD_1 instead. That's also a major reason I don't have jingle bells instead of balls. They take more polygons to…
sure its not a 1:1 ratio but the lack of hard polling in the pirate community doesn't mean it isn't a problem.

She can't have Win7 and a Mac... well, you CAN, but not from factory. And it would completely defeat the point of buying a Mac. Screw getting a Mac. You can go to a Best Buy and get just about any laptop in the store for less than $1000. Personally, I've been looking at something from this list:…

Here's the real-world example: I want to add some scratches to the normal map for a weapon or something, so I quickly paint some black scratch marks on a white background. What I'd like to…
You can get pretty close, eye level and a few inches from it in engine. It's for my own portfolio but targeteted at AAA game studios, so trying to match their quality and workflow as close as I can. Do you mean composite an albedo trim sheet? Would do you for example 1 blank button and then an alpha plane to place text,…
