Hey, I'm working more on that model and configuring GoZ to try and toss the model back and forth between the programs, but no luck. I've got an excerpt from my old Demons story bible here that might be entertaining... The Seven Generals There are many who control the various parts of the machine-like government that exists…
@MRALO Welcome to Polycount. Consider checking out the forum information and introduction thread. The object has a lot of repetitive surface features so try breaking it down into mirrorable or tileable segments. Working on a small portion of the mesh and copying it to create the rest of the shapes tends to be more…
Devour [Final Draft] A creeping miasma of chilled despair engulfed the darkened shacks at the ends of Mudtown City Limits. Rows of jagged rooftops were illuminated by the moon’s light, brightening the tiny city on the eastern shores more than the city lights. Nothing exciting happened in Mudtown aside from the occasional…

I really do feel that Han Solo requires more stories and that was the plan with the Solo movie. Unfortunately it wasn't very popular though I enjoyed it. Placing it…
Hello! I've been posting daily sculpts for two weeks into my sketchbook but I realize thats probably not the forum for feedback. I'll post all the ones Ive done so far into this master post and then trickle them out as I work my way through the second part of this month of sculpting. To not flood the page I'll just post…
You can generate a curvature map from your normal map in XNormal or Substance Designer as well as Knald. You can also bake a curvature map in XNormal. The reason why you usually would want to have a curvature map is because it helps you create wear on the edges of your model and dust and dirt in the crevasses, so you…

So this 3D engine I'm using(and I can't change the tech sadly) seems to use lightmaps(just simple 2D dds textures which are mapped to the second UV channel in geometry) in quite a particular way for large chunks of terrain. It seems to read the alpha channel from the lightmap and use it as a multiplier to the lighting…
