Hi all, I have a few questions around building and using modular kits for environment layout. 1. How critical is it for a modular environment to be fully closed off? Meaning, all assets snapping cleanly to the grid with no protruding geometry outside of the layout of the scene? In cinematic work, I’ve often prioritized…
Let's cut the bs, Oxy, you're just scared that if people see what a cock you act here and now and then it will count against you right ? :) Theres no need to be soapboxing about something like this and trying to turn it into something its not, its completly reasonable to want to know how a person acts privately when being…

Hey everyone, I’m looking to put together a small team to build a free Five Nights at Freddy’s fan game. This is an unpaid passion project for building portfolios, gaining game dev experience, and making something genuinely creepy. The Game: I am keeping the exact setting and lore under wraps to prevent the idea from being…
Loving this so far! I will say, the dark background through the stained glass (that bright-ish sunlight is shining one & through) isn't helping at the moment-- as it should be brighter through that crack, or the stained glass shouldn't be as bright as it is. It's kind of a weird concept, as it's a ruin, so where is the…
In that case, the book and the chest wouldn't be suitable for opening cutscenes either, as they've got some really low poly sections which wouldn't look consistent with the rest of the mesh. You need to decide what the purpose of the asset is and make the mesh suitable for that purpose. Either high res and detailed for a…

Hey Polycount, Releasing Quadify Ultra today, and wanted to share it here since this community has always been where serious topology conversation happens. https://youtu.be/1_7xRSyeLUc What it is Quadify Ultra is a retopology addon for Blender 5.0 with an ML routing engine. You select a mesh, hit Ctrl+Shift+Q, and it…
In my experience for character blendshapes the principal or lead character artist will create the benchmark blendshapes and the pipeline along with a tech artist to support on setting up the tools, and the character art team will use the pipeline tools and benchmark assets to create the blendshapes for their individual…
Yeah, I can see where that feeling comes from. A lot of pipelines today optimize for scalability and consistency rather than uniqueness. Procedural tools made production much more predictable, but at the same time they tend to converge toward similar visual patterns. At the same time though, I’m not sure the material side…
