Watermarking professionally...
Ok well I'm as newbie as it gets in the professional 3D department as all the 'pro' graphic art I've ever done in the past was logos and websites, where watermarking by adding a simple layer may or may not have been looked down upon depending on the situation/client. For the past year or so I've immersed myself in doing… -
