Struggling with edge/rim highlight control in Toolbag (hard surface)
I’ve been trying to get cleaner highlight flow on this model, but I keep running into issues where the highlights feel muddy or break abruptly — especially on larger surfaces and edges. I’m working in Toolbag using HDRI + a few lights. From a modeling standpoint the surfaces should be clean, but the highlight flow still… -
LIghtmaps giving overlap errors on HIGH res settings, but not on low
Hi PC, What is up with this? I can bake everything fine at low settings like 32-64 LM res, but if I go to 256-512I get errors of overlapping UVs. This happens on quite a lot of the assets in the game, and I dont understand why. Can anyone shed some light on this? -

Undying Armor Set WIP
Hi everyone! This is my first time making content for Dota 2, and I'd like some suggestions and advice. This is my WIP of the armor set I have right now and the concept work that went with it.

Enable "Forward Shading" inside "Project Settings" Has Destroyed My Scene forever...
I am so desperate right now. My 3 months' worth of work just completely gone in a few seconds after I hit "Build" for my level. So I messed around inside the "render" tab inside "Project settings" in hope of achieving a better-looking result for my scene. I remember enabled "Forward Shading" and after hitting "Build" my… -
Max 7 mid poly Desert Eagle video tutorial set
I have released a four part video tutorial set for 3d Studio Max 7 on the end to end creation of a 5000 polygon Desert Eagle using polymodeling. The gun features chamfered edges and milling, so minor adjustments to the model would ensure compatibility with most game engines (edit- for games compatibility this would work… -
3ds Max/Maya Grid settings + Zoom
I've been having some issues with the grid settings in Max and Maya. I want to set the grid settings so sending meshes over to UDK will be to scale. I've read that if the grid were something like 2 cm per grid it'll be one Unreal Unit. These settings must also match sending stuff back and forth between Max/Maya, which I… -
Re: How many textures sets for game-ready character?
If I remember correctly, the Arthur Morgan character is modular, so it would make sense that different modules are on different smaller sets to avoid loading textures that are only partially used. If your character doesn't need this, you can pack more on one set, mainly splitting with texture resolution and shader model…
