Doing an explode bake doesn't mean you need to use a large number of seperate mesh chunks, and using a continunouse mesh chunk for everything that doesn't animate(or just 2-3 larger chunks) doesn't mean you shouldn't do an explode bake. My general rules of thumb: 1. Use as few mesh chunks as possible 2. Use separate mesh…
1. Turn on snapping and do pretty much the same thing (grab the axis handle and mouse over the vertex you want to snap to). 2. Enable "Multi Slice" in the edge slice tool's properties. 3. There's currently no select by angle built in :/ 4. Drag the item you want to align to the item you want to align it to (either in the…
Surprisingly, all game engines will have doublesided shader options (aka: diasable backface culling), not that many seem to support Two Sided Lighting, or in some engines referred to as: "Light from both sides". In the case where Two sided lighting is not an option, strictly using doublesided can be problematic for…

Starting off with the first part of a Pokemon-themed fan project. With this first phase, I wanted to try making my own personal merch. 3D models were rendered, printed on shrink plastic sheets and attached to keychains. Using the base designs, I also created micro stickers. This was my first time using an electronic…
No, no they should not. They are actively trying to lower the value of someones recreational time, that immediatly removes any semblance of "equality" with a regular person in regards to personal rights. They gave away their right to be treated fairly the second they start treating others badly. I think this is an…
I know you asked for a free site but I just need to post this anyway (have mercy upon me!): http://www.3d.sk/ , is the best human anatomy reference site I ever used. I studied anatomy proportions daily for a very long time and this site had the only database that suited my needs: great lighting conditions, allot of…
