One thing that I probably should mention is that my team just consists of myself. I'm pretty good at coding, I just hate to do it. In fact, I'd rather smash myself in the ying-yang with a cinder block. But I can code when I need to. A typical project would be an exterior and/or interior of a 6,000 to 8,000 seat arena but…
I get what you mean, I have two views on this, use packs or quixel assets in a way to create something new (kitbash, live boleans etc) and if you are using packs in games to save time / costs that is also ok given you are not claiming it as your own work. Thing to keep in mind, Quixel assets and asset packs on various…
I used to ride the train to work and my goal was to draw on the train everyday. After doing that a while I realized I wasn't getting much better and was just drawing similarly weird creatures. I decided to download some Sargent drawings to my phone and try and copy how he drew. It helped me a ton. I was no longer just…
Hey everyone, I struggle to understand how to best approach UV-unwrapping/baking the normal maps for these rocks. I'm using Maya > Substance Painter > Unreal pipeline. There are visible seams in the normals in UE and I don't really get how I'm supposed to prevent them. All edges in the Maya meshes are soft using Soften…
:) Hello everyone! It's my first day here. I might be a little out of place here because I am working on a 3D animation film and not a videogame. But all the same I need to float this anyway... I am working on a script for an animated film about the English rock group Led Zeppelin. The film is called "Friends" and takes…
Hello, I’m BlakeSmith, a professional VRChat avatar creator with over three years of experience in designing and developing high-quality custom avatars.

Hello, is doing photogrammetry with Handheld Mirrorless DSLR (Cannon EOS M200), handheld, high ISO (800 lets say) and using newest AI denoise in Lightroom Classic possible...? Like will it look good? NO tripod involved (thus the need for high ISO setting in order to get at least 1/100s+ shutter speeds to hopefully NOT get…
I wanted to see how to shorten some of these expressions if possible as I'm still learning...It´s a script that'll toggle meshes between High Quality Display and Low Quality Display. Some of my bigger concerns are three: 1-To set something to HQ, I believe the only flag needed is -polygonObject, even though in the Script…
Fair enough. Let me ask another then while we see if any other tips roll in (sounds right to me, but you never know if there is a setting tucked somewhere). Some of my team points out seams and are wondering "how can you get seams on your uv borders in mudbox?!" and I say "well, seams are on every piece of art in the…
@macoll Thanks for that! I'll definitely have a look into it :) @Adelphia Thanks for that observation... the normals I actually corrected with a hemisphere mesh... since my grass billboards aim outwards from each other. I just corrected them to aim upwards, results seem quite similar but possibly just a bit better. The…
