I've been playing around with handplane a bit and strangely though I cant seem to get it to work with my NaturesProphet items normalmap. It turns out all blackish in the preview. But through that i started playing around with the fbx format. I am usually using Blender and export into smd files. Now I wanna know, what do…
Oh man, thank you so much. Everything makes sense now!! -I watched an SP video on YouTube where the guy makes and exports a dedicated Mat ID version of his model (using a whole bunch of ID's).

This is awesome. I love these kinds of articles.

When I say longer lasting, I meant which of the two do people tend to hold longer before having to look for another job? I've noticed that for concept guys they tend to only work for a few months whereas 3D guys tend to work longer on average, sometimes years, but well that might just be due to the small sample of people…

About the game: The game would be a small sci-fi/post-apocalyptic survival horror 3D game with FPS (First person shooter) mechanics and an original setting and story based in a book (which I'm…
