Texture Baking and Mental Ray Max
You know, unless I'm using it wrong, mental ray is much faster at baking normal maps and light maps with its mr sun and mr sky.

[Solved] Model setup for Substance Designer Pipeline
I've been watching a butt load of tutorials on SD/SP recently and It's raised some alarms the moment I started understanding the workflow and theory to how you use SD...

12K Maps?
I've noticed games like Unreal and Gears of War have amazing texture resolution for each of their meshes, and I recently heard of a process that would allow up to a 12K map, be compressed down to a 1K map to contain all of those high resolution details while having a usable map size through dds file format.

Maya - UV totally destroyed
Hey everyone, I modelled a dragon in maya, but when I started to cut the seems for the UV, I noticed that there where already some seems.
