Re: We need to talk about some of our art terminoligy.
Ok first of all i want to try and clarify where i am coming from and why i think that these things are important. Nothing I am arguing here is new information, especially if you actually have an informed idea of how colour works. Instead the question I'm asking is how can we teach colour better to painters and artist, and… -
Questions about normal baking via explosion
(I use mostly 3ds Max) I'm not sure how to word this but I have several struggles remaining about baking complex objects. I've learned many things this year about baking normals.

Re: What Blender Tasks Are Still Wasting Your Time? Looking for Real Automation Targets
You’re right, decimation is a better word for what I’m doing than retopo. Ideally yes, the decimation and unwrapping would all be handled in one step.

Re: The modern business model doesn't give a shit about you.
If you've read the rest of my posts you'd see there's more to it than that. Until a few decades ago, you'd have a really hard time convincing anyone that economics was at the root of all human behaviour and that money made anything acceptable.

But, as I…
