Re: How would you texture a building like this?
Modularity is the way to go. Tiling textures, and a different material per surface type. Use a trim sheet + material for the foundation and moldings and strips that make up all the window frames. If you want localized non-repeating detail, use blending and/or decals. * http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Environment_modularity… -
Re: Maya LT
This is such a trainwreck really. Not only does it comes out as very condescending towards smaller developers (someone somewhere at Autodesk seems to genuinely believe that indie = crappier content), it also clearly shows that Autodesk has absolutely no understanding of its user base ... and its own business model.

Re: I need advice on how to proceed with this stone wall technique (Blender/Quixel Mixer/UE4).
I would suggest going full modular, mixing in-engine rather than ahead of time in Mixer. More variation, less memory, faster workflow.

[Maya/ZBrush] How do you actually use trim sheets

BUT, there is one thing that I have a hard time to wrap my head around and that is the creation and use of trim sheets. I spent quite some days now researching on that topic but me beeing German and not overly confident… -
Re: Do 3D weapons generally contain a bullet in their texture maps?
Except it says the exact opposite you mean? You can do dynamic batching too. Within some borders of course. And we are again at the "it depends". It is not clear if the gun is static or dynamic. What triggered me to continue here was that my answer got basically ignored. And a guessing game started what the real reason… -
Re: Art test question - is this normal? (Long post)
@Larry That was the goal and yet hopefully someone may find this helpful not only from my mistakes and choices but the discussions can give some solid insight. I'm fairly new and trying to get into the industry but I'm very hopeful. Always appreciate the advice as this stuff is a constant learning experience and I think… -
Re: Is the game industry really that bad to work in?
Are most of you paid hourly? Rocking timesheets and all that? Most salaried people I know don't get paid overtime wages. -
[Blender 2.8][Addon/Script] RedTools - Free addon containing various QOL utilities
Hey there everybody :) I'm a long time lurker here and an avid Blender user. Over the last week or two I've been assembling a few simple personal workflow tools as an Addon, thinking it may be useful to more people than just myself. I'll list the features below, but to cut to the chase it can either be found (free)… -
