I know you asked for non-Autodesk specifically due to price, but have you seen Maya LT? $20 a month. If you can afford Zbrush, Substance Painter etc then $20 cannot really be the issue? There is Modo, but even its cheapest version on Steam if close to Maya LT and I believe is limited by polycount or DOTA only...cannot…
I'm not interpreting anything as a LoD here at all. What the graph says there is that GPU is Idle when rendering less then 130 tris per batch. If it calls a separate drawcall, then your single 100-tri object is a single batch. And then making an object of less then 130 tris technically makes little sense. So making a lod…
Especially when the biggest part of the 20 "asstes" is almost similar. It looks amazing like a wrote before but a realstic price is more like 20 USD. I mean we are talking about 2 x 2K textures, which i guess are the same material and a few small rocks. So i even don't liketoi imagine what the price of tree set is...…
[ QUOTE ] better than Pirates 2? Nope, not no how, not no way. [/ QUOTE ] Pirates 2 had good visuals, nothing else. 20 minutes of story thrown into a 2 hour movie with way over done "action" scenes which got boring after the first 2 minutes, but continued to repeat the exact same gags for the next 20 anyways. The first…
I'm doing some freelance work and it involves rendering a product into different parts as layers. The layers are assembled as one product and uploaded into a website where the user can manipulate the layers with different materials colors etc., My contractor had a previous developer write scripts for the rendering process…
ive been working on a robot for 18 years now .. more seriously - pre-substance painter our outsource partners would produce a set of modular assets (average 10-12 pieces) mapped, textured and lodded (5-7 handmade lods) in 20 days with feedback. This was first-party AAA content for ps4 speed comes from making good decisions…
Marketing and advertising are not easy or quick. And most importantly, they are very time consuming. Time that could be better spent developing. Would I be willing to "spend" 20% of potential profit on getting a leg-up in those areas? Yeah, I might actually be willing to do that. Keep in mind that Unity doesn't even charge…
Basically, the 20 year vet at one company and the 20 year vet at 20 companies are the extremes. I would say expect to move at least a few times in your career and have to find new gigs every 3 years on average. If you're lucky, you can stay in one area and just work for multiple companies. Salary will also go up faster if…
