I think that you are having trouble expressing this fundamental concept because it is more of a spiritual belief than anything rooted in actual cause and effect. So long as an action both fits within your moral code and is in the long term interests of a company it can be said that either motivation is in play. Are their…
Hello, I am not a TD, but I am the solo animator at my current job and I need to deal with the creating of the rigs for Unity. The coder that deals with character skills and integretion is asking for a rig that has two bones that are having the same hierarchy level -> two roots in the same rig. I am using Advanced Skeleton…
Hey guys, I've been itching to get into some contests or competitions to see how I've improved. Problem is, there doesn't seem to be anything big going on, and it's been months since Polycount had a competition. Does anyone know of (reputable) competitions or contests that are starting up soon or are already in progress…

The current polygon approach is a…
I agree with every argument made here, even the ones that contradict each other. Another method I can recommend is getting really really rich, and then pay someone to make your games. But just coming up with game ideas is boring. Game development is rewarding only because of the endless hours you spend building the assets…

I am worried that the file might be permanently broken. Is there any way to resolve the problem? MachineId: EpicAccountId: Unknown exception - code 00000001…
Issue with zbrush. When sculpting the inner part of the sculpt moves to a point beyond the outer part. It makes this strange thing happen where this can be seen but since it has some sort of backface invisibilty it can't be seen but from certain angles. I've tried using backface masking but that might be causing it to…
Hey Polycounters. I'm starting a new environment. I have a few goals with this project: to better understand PBR pipeline and techniques, improve my sculpting ability, and add more material types to my portfolio. I painted this concept in the summer during one of the Hand Painters Guild workshops. The layout will change,…
