Re: Draw Calls and batching
Thanks for the replies! @monster - its actually a proprietary engine but does allow for batching. Yes everything is static, no animations. So 10 of the same so long as they all share the same material will be batched. I think I'm good on that part thought it does lead me to another question later. @Eric - Yeah that was the… -
Re: How to start being a technical artist
Ok so...based on what you guys said: the main focus is to create/speed up workflows so the artists don't have any technical issues and only focus on creating art rather than fixing something or do repetitive work, am i correct? I'm more of a Maya guy when creating animations and rigging and only use Max for modeling. But… -
Re: uv placement on template
Could the tail be mirrored? There isn't much padding between the pieces, you should apply a per pixel map and see just how many pixels you have to work with.

Re: Volumetric clouds, worth it?

Re: SOLVED: Everything I texture looks low res?
Hey Eric! I do think it is something I'm doing wrong with my input maps/meshes, as I am using the exact same textures in UE4 as I am in DDO. The image I use for my textures is greater than 4K, what is the difference between that and a 4K material? [ I'm still new to this so I have no idea :) ] Here are some examples in UE4… -
Re: Methods for hard environment modeling - interiors
Thanks for the link, Eric. I'm currently working on a project that revolves around some higher-tech interior environments, and I've been focusing my modeling and normal mapping on modularity. It's been torture to get all of the different hallway sections to be seamless when butted up against each other, but it's moving… -
Re: Breaking Bad
The only thing I could think of at the end of that last episode was "Walt, you're such a massive dick". Pretty epic season though! Here's to hoping the closure of the series will be equally epic! -
