More on Educational Games
Hey, I know that this is a fairly common-ish topic for gamers, but this weekend I got the privilege to go to (and present at) a seminar at Simon Fraser University concerning educational simulations and games.

Re: Old Hammerite Guard

In general sub-forums tend to be frowned upon here, for a few reasons: 1) They fracture the community and often hide posts that might get more attention.

Re: Help a newbie out with high poly assets?
For 2, there are some performance considerations depending on your target platform and renderer that change the types of polycount you can reasonably achieve.

Re: Modo 10 vs Maya 2017
There's a reason Autodesk makes Maya free for students: it's the Microsoft Word of 3D apps. It's old, it's buggy and it's bloated. It's an application designed for a different time when you bought software in a box and you expected it to do every single thing. There are a number of better, more stable, leaner alternatives… -
