Workstation Tips
![[Deleted User]](https://polycount.com/themes/polycount/design/default-avatar.gif)
Maybe I'm growing old, but I've started to become more picky/sensitive about workstations, particularly comfort. Things that didn't matter much to me before are now very noticeable and make a big difference (e.g. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Back Pains, Butt Pains etc.). I thought it would be nice if we could discuss (agree or… -

Re: Any tips or tricks on how to properly Loop animation cycles?
So lots of smart tips here, but what i would do if i were you is to make good use of animation layers in this case, set the pose in the bottom standard layer (No Animation), but all of the animation for the loop should be done in the "WatchIdle" Layer.

Hard surface modeling in Maya tips
Hey guys, am just trying to practice some hard surface modeling (using Maya) but never seem to be able to have full control of the process and get slowed down quite a lot making little tweaks here and there which I'm pretty sure are because I've made little mistakes moving verts without realising. For example I'm working… -
Need tips: modeling while not aligned to the xyz

Now there's a handle of the faucet that kinda juts out at a weird angle that doesnt line up at all with the xyz axes. I use maya btw. I know I could just… -
Looking for Tips regarding modular house pieces
I've been trying to think of a way to smartly bring modular house pieces into Substance painter for eventual usage in Unity. I have a modular door, window, wall, stairs, and pillar. If I combine/join all the objects in blender, I can consolidate them into a single UV map. However, when I separate them again they seem to… -
Re: 186 grey instead of 128 grey got any tips for authoring textures this way?
Hey, Sorry for bringing this thread back, but I've been having trouble with this recently. I'm trying to author colour overlay maps that get overlaid on top of a base colour via a Overlay Node in UE4 material editor. The trouble I'm having is that UE4 Overlay node does in fact seem to use 186 grey as the midpoint. Anyone… -
Quick max tip - fast baking of animated position
You probably already know how to do this, but Ill tell you anyway since its useful in max. The problem I sometimes get with running through dozens of character models in a project is that parts (lets choose hands as an example) were modelled in one position, skinned, and then the initial postion/pose of the bones get…
