Hey @spacefrog can you re-upload this script? The d/l link is dead. I was just testing out some of the fancy viewport features like bloom, SSAO, etc. and it'd be nice to be able to save out some animations with it. The vanilla Make Preview tool ignores custom viewport settings, unfortunately. Also would be great to save…
I'm really struggling to figure out how to create a nice and modular asset kit for a very large and complex environment. Here's an example: I'm gonna make the assets have actual geometry on each brick, like this for example: But that decision has come with many challenges. Namely, how to handle modular wall pieces and…
Thank you for taking the time to respond, but just to clarify, I’m not asking how to use Maya’s “Parent Constraint.” I’m pointing out that the feature itself is fundamentally not a real parent constraint, and that’s the core issue. the problem in the link you shared can indeed be solved by a "copy transform" (by blender…
As okidoki mentioned above, we have a wiki with tons of curated resources. We even have example character meshes! http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/BaseMesh And tons of example wireframes to examine and learn from http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/BodyTopology http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Limb_Topology
In 1990 games for NES sometimes were sold at 50 dollars if they were brand new or really popular, sometimes more. When Ninja Turtles came out for example, you know that awesome piece of crap that wasn't at all like the the arcade version, cost 50 bucks at some stores. So the prices for games in my eyes are pretty standard…

(I´m copying this from the substance designer subforum, seeming that my issue occurs minly in marmoset and no one is asnwering there, maybe here i'll have more luck) Hi, I'm learing SD and having a lot of fun, but i can't seem to get the grasp on how to make proper heightmaps and how to render them properly inside…
Hi! Multiple ways to get a gradient mask across meshes, to then use in the shader to modulate values/colors. For example the gradient could be stored in a UV set, vertex color, generated from the y-pos in the shader, ... The way to go is something you have to decide on.
It's weird Painter still doesn't have easy fix for this . Designer baker has "skew " mask option for example . You also can project base box UV on the floating geo ( if it's one sided ), bake object space normal map and re-bake it to tangent space in any 3d package. Sometimes helps with complex things.
