Re: Asset Pack Textures
A mix. Simply using a tiling texture for each mat type would work, but it's low effort and kind of meh looking a lot of the time. For a load of props, unique/atlased RGB masks might be worth considering. So a mix of generic tiling materials, with a mask to blend them with context to the object. an example for metal it… -
Re: How Do I Model a 3D Apple Braided Strap in Blender?
Hi and welcome to Polycount! Firstly, it's best to add a question mark to your topic title... that way people will know it is a question. Otherwise it sounds like you made a tutorial.

Re: Tech Artist - What are you working on: FOREVER Edition!
@r_fletch_r: that would be the right way to do it, but since I am only scanning for simple characters or strings I avoided regular expressions as they are a pain to figure out. Just a simple string query find / mark function that loops through string using something like string.indexOf(key,lastOffset)... Fast enough for…
