Re: Sewer WIP
Its coming along!

[TOOL / ADDON] VmBaker - GPU-accelerated texture baker (Maya, Blender & beyond)
Hello everyone, I want to share a new tool I've been developing for some time now called VmBaker. It is a texture baking tool mainly targeted at game developers for making low-poly models - but it's really up to you how you want to use it. If you're tired of exporting models from Maya to Blender just to bake beveled edges,… -
Re: To Bevel or Not to Bevel!
I see what you're saying, I've made a few models like that, but in this case I have to cut into the grid so that I can keep the curvature of the base object. If I do the sub-d technique I'm afraid of getting small variations in the surface from manually editing the verticies/faces. Sub division works well for the model in… -

Re: Game art program setups on ultrawide monitor (21:9 3440x1440)
My Dell monitor only has a minor curve so it hasn't bothered me at all, and everything has grids and guides anyways. And I have retired the second monitor, so I'm just on the single ultrawide now and no looking back. -
Re: New to xGen, some hair longer than surrounding guides
@oglu Baking didn't do what I wanted but I tweaked my region map again and I think my guides weren't working with each other properly so I think some more tweaking I'll get it looking better. When would baking the guides be particularly useful?
