I know how to do it in Blender if it may help. Select> select similar> by normal. Pay attention to threshold slider. Then you need UVpackmaster 3 addon for $44. It has "groups" where you have unwrap each selection first, assign it to a groups and then grouped islands will always stay together. The packing will be not as…
The biggest pros for sculpting in Blender (to me) so far are; * Blender has real perspective while ZBrush has a somewhat non reliable perspective. * Blender allows previewing in Eevee while Sculpting. No need to do I/O and send your files to Keyshot or Redshift or whatever renderer there is. There are other things planned…
For 0:50 it looks like a standard falloff brush or soft selection. Soft Selection has its own panel in the Editable Poly menu. Alternatively if you want to use a deformation brush go into the Ribbon (aka Graphite modeling tools) > Freeform > Shift. For 8:05 just looks like basic edge transforms, extrude, and bend. Extrude…
Assuming you're doing things yourself, I'd recommend Unity. Its much easier to rapidly iterate a useful product even if you're "doing it wrong". UDK and Unity are both highly capable, but they each are a different philosophy of "how to make a game". Which one resonates with you, and what your end goal is, will determine…
I have been playing around with Modo,using the inline help documentation,I am loving it already.The first thing I noticed about the app is that its very similar to Blender in terms of the different modes and other stuffs but what is keeping me hooked is the fast realtime renderer.Its super FAST!! with global…
Unfortunately this default process is a bit convoluted, and in my opinion horribly designed when it comes to Blender. It places a big emphasis on the 3D Cursor, which is really annoying to deal with. Maybe the approach will get redesigned in the future (I hope so) but until tweaking the behavior your self or using addons…
I love the Painters Wheel addon (check it out if you haven't yet), but I just can't get it working on this one specific machine. It works on other identical machines here, but not this one. What happens is that when I open its panel, there's some massive lag happening all throughout photoshop, until it finally crashes a…
You're welcome! I was hopelessly bored while waiting for some images get attached to an email during this morning Gmail's outage, haha. Having never used one of Blender's sewing addons I'm in no position to compare them to MD. The good simulation performance is one thing that initially drew me to MD and the vector drawing…

Transmission is indeed quite different from Transparent. The glTF Sample Viewer only shows the Transparent Material Count for materials using alphaMode:Blend (commonly known as alpha blending) and/or alphaMode:Mask (commonly known as alpha test). Transmission is not actually transparent in a real-time renderer. It's up to…
