[Full Time, On-Site in Burbank, CA] Digital Fabricator / 3D Modeler
I’m a designer at a prop fabrication shop here in Burbank, and I’m reaching out to this community specifically because we’re looking for a very particular kind of unicorn.

Re: Smoothing errors on hard-surface pieces aka how to get clean bakes
The problem here is you're using hard edges without uv seams. Everywhere you use a hard edge you also need to split your uv islands up.

I will be making something that when I retopologise, it will be a lot cleaner to have bits that intersect like this, rather than trying to get the… -
Quick Blade (getting back into texturing - need advice)
I made a quick blade in Maya and unwrapped it get get going in Substance Painter again after a long time. The only thing that amazed me more than how much I remembered was how much I forgot. The guard and scales are premade materials in Substance with some dings and wear for good measure but I made the blade from scratch.… -
Why having Connections doesn´t help you get a Job
So let me clarify that first. technically, having connections does help you get a job. but at the same time it doesn´t, because you know that. so what benefit does it have for you that you know you have connections to secure a job in the future?
