Hello, 1. Not at all. If the player can't see it and it doesn't cause performance or lighting issues, it doesn't matter. 2. Double sided materials are slightly more expensive, but IMO worth it if it means you don't have to manage double sided geo. Using both at the same time would be completely redundant. Note that in VR…
@Noren Associated indeed. As an art director running a tech company, I don’t usually have much time to give back to the community — so I built a tool to help make giving feedback and focusing on fundamentals fast and accessible. For decades now I’ve been frustrated that so much of our online discourse revolves around tools…
As a 3D artist who's seen the evolution from low-poly game assets to RTX- powered photorealism, I’ve observed a growing gap between generations of artists. Today, I’ve shared an article exploring this shift where optimization meets high-quality production, and why smart planning matters more than ever. Whether you're…
Here’s the finish line. This project has officially reached the end. Overall, I’m very pleased with how it turned out. The past week became very much a polish phase. Every time I thought I was done, I kept going back and asking myself: “Can this be pushed further?” That mindset carried through the entire final stretch.…

Hi everyone, we are looking for someone who can help us bring our game to players and shape how the project is presented and communicated. We are currently working on a mobile arcade game called Gary Getman. The core gameplay and direction are already defined — we are not redesigning the game. What we are looking for is…
Issue: Taking over a day to create a simple model. Every tutorial I have seen has taken 40 minutes to an hour. Either their computers are from the year 4825 or I'm doing something wrong. It's most likely he latter. Granted my resolutions higher but my bake is taking over 24 hours. That's beyond disproportional. I admit I…
This is exactly why I make art mostly for myself and somewhat for others who appreciate modern concept art or the mecha scene. I feel it, I draw it, I dig it. Show it to someone outside of the art world and they don't have the appropriate mindset to recognize a unique work for what it is. They're stuck in this "Oh, that's…
OK, why exactly do we have a thread about her? I'm curious, I personally would rather talk about other things, like new artists coming out recently that take inspiration from Lebbaus Wood but most importantly, if every life is sacred, why should we have a thread about her only? Why not about the men and women in uniform in…
