I’m experiencing a baking artifact and have tried various solutions but haven’t been able to pinpoint the cause. If anyone can help me identify the issue, I’d really appreciate it! Low Poly mesh: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/cxrgs8x8hy2ns0bynweqy/Fire_hydrant_low_poly.obj?rlkey=wz3wg55mr1zqxmotuyjackmzg&st=ce91bt65&dl=0
I agree with what's been said. Most of that stuff already exists or would be easy enough to script. Here's a very basic texel-density script I've written that someone might want to improve upon. Next step for me is to add a query for the existing texture size, but I suck at scripting so it's progressing very slowly :p…
Hey fellow Polycounters! Thought I'd start a P&P before I get too far into my adventure. Currently working on a project with a couple of friends of mine, the idea is to sculpt up a few miniatures and ponder up some rulesets for our own tabletop wargame. I'm working with Maya and ZBrush then exporting into .STL, which will…
Hi! I'm a 3d artist/coder looking for a project for the remainder of the year. Basically I'm starting a doctorate working on some cool research projects with a AAA games company soon (around winter) and need some intermediate work. I've worked as an artist (Lightwave, Zbrush and Maya) for many years and have 1+1/2 years as…
Hello: I'm looking for someone to design "powerups" such as one would find in an FPS game like Quake or Unreal Tournament -- those cool items that spawn then rotate in place until picked up. I'll provide what ability the "powerup" is for and am looking for someone who can model (and possibly animate) a sleek, elegant, cool…

If you've rigged something from the Dota2 files, you've undoubtedly come across this spawn of Satan. If you don't know what I mean, here's the skinny (from here): From my experience most of the meshes in the Maya files that we get from Valve have this. Some people suggest updating your .fbx plugin to stop this behavior but…
Description This will be small fighter type space craft with a living space. I have classified three classes of star fighters throughout movies and video games. They would be short range fighters, what I will refer to as strike fighters, and long range fighters. Short range fighters have no FTL drives (hyper drive, warp…
What is Patriots? In 2020, a tyrant leader steps out from the ruins of WWIII. He leads with his own private military and promises to protect the people from danger and hunger. This promise is soon broken and the Patriots are formed. Patriots follows the story of adrenaline junkie Max Swagger and British rock & roller Liz…
btw a bit of a sidetrack here, if anyone ever used CAD software, I was quite excited when I worked with NX 3.0 at university. The solids are so nice to modify, added smooth edges and so on is really easy, but the best is probably the boolans paired with associative geometry. like creating a helper plane that is always…
