New hire comes into your studio -- what skills are they usually missing?
Is there some general things new people struggle with? The same type of stuff you see questions about here and elsewhere online? Baking issues, general workflow questions, lack of software understanding, so on? Or is it more related to lack of game development experience? Struggles to get work done in time. Issues… -

Re: UE5 Environment Study - Lighting and Atmosphere Critique
I think the biggest thing is the direction of the sun. On the reference it's coming from the left of the image plane and shining through through the foliage.

Re: How to automatically paint mesh depend on polygon height or angle? (Unity or 3ds Max)
It sounds like you want a shader that blends based on height and slope. If you stretch the terrain up too high and you get ugly distorted textures you will want to go with a shader that has "triplanar". Max is pretty limited on this front.

Re: New game project needs efficient and interesting art style
"Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone. I am going to brush up on low poly techniques, as that seems to be the main message you're all sending.

Help! How to derive a mask from a "max" style blend node.
I attached a quick example below. I'm struggling with how to derive a solid one-bit style mask from two heightfields blended using the max style blending. My mockup below is basically approximating some pebbles I want to blend on some sand. But I can't use the original pebble generator as a mask because a lot of the…
