Re: Retoplogising Floating Geometry - Help Appreciated.
Yea you want to avoid doing the left example, and have the topology match so it deforms properly, like in the example on the right. -

I am looking for an example of showing an image from the current Texture library with any adjustments applied. Anyone has tried/done this? Or know where to look for example code? Thanks in advance. -
Re: Current games console wars are strange?
A bit of a tangent: When I see stuff like that, I cant help but feel a bit aggravated by it. It generally reads as one big confirmation bias, one that seeks to create this narrative meant to dismantle any perceived "patriarchy" found in this medium. The genres and the platforms matter. Specifics matter. Age and gender are… -
Re: Sigh... it's one thing when people you don't know online promote game piracy...
Man, this is a perfect example. Thanks for posting this. As I said repeatedly in this thread, piracy is a problem. This post highlights it. But it also asks the question of how to deal with it.

Re: realistic old wood for furniture help!
A general web search for 'pbr wood tutorials' should get you some good results. What may be infinitely more beneficial is to take some time to study the reference image and try to breakdown some of the details that make it look the way it looks.

Modeling cheek\side guards of some historical helmets - topology suggestions ?
It seems people are more keen about modeling fantasy helmets or pseudo historical helmets seen from movies but little is known that actual helmets used along in history are equally fascinating. One forgotten era where there are superb examples of fascinating helmets is the hellenistic one (time period after the Alexander…
