4k textures are very big and you'd have trouble justifying the use of 4k maps for unique props etc. - (*at a basic level - we'll ignore modern streaming tech) but if you have a trimsheet and you are re-using it across tens or hundreds of assets, that big chunk of memory becomes better value one question to ask yourself is…
Got a million more things to do, but it's still going strong! Still flat textures, flat materials, no light meshes/props, auto UV's, and blocked-out props Trying to nail the structural elements of the room/deck before I move on to prop and material work.
Just delete the extra bone. You only have to link the bone to the object through the skin modifier if it's a single bone. The physics mesh should use the same bone as the in game one. If the bones are what's causing trouble, you can just not use any bones and remove the line $keyvalues { prop_data { "base" "cloth.Small" }…

I'm currently working on my final project for my Bachelor and I have run into a problem... on the UE Aks Forum thingy nobody answers, so I thought I might ask here since you guys are a lot more active. Now to the Problem: I have…
I would suggest picking a prop and focus entirely on recreating that prop to the best of you ability. Make it a prop with plenty of reference. You need to train your eye to see details that your not used to looking at. I did this when I first started out and it help me tremendously.

The second pic is because I need some feedback on the silhouette and texture of the tree. I have already some vfx for leaves…
I think in general the advice about old work hinges on evolving "taste" and overall eye for quality. As one progresses and learns more overtime they realize that their old art is not up to par any more in their eyes (sure at the time it appeared as the best art piece ever, but now several years later they realize that…

You want to be a prop artist? Get rid of everything except props. Then ask yourself, what are you really passionate about making. What sort of props really get you excited? I suspect it is not a red chair and a cabinet. Make something you're passionate about.
I see half of your site having character art, which you call props... Instead of having those separate, include them into an environment instead of showing them off stand-alone like that. Don't just call them props, use them as props. :\
