I tested smoothing groups along UV texture border edges vs 1 smoothing group quite extensively a few months ago on statics within the UDK (from xnormal and maya bakes with custom cages). I was less worried about the compression artifacts and more concerned about the seams once imported ingame. I honestly thought I would…
I want to disagree that I've blown off anyone here. I took the time to read through my thread and I don't believe I've said anything that is considered flagrant/swearing/ or straight up rejection. As stated in the above, I've read people's comments and had almost always agreed with them or explained in civil fashion, I…
Hey been working in this field for about 6 years as a general artist. Can only speak for a medium sized company so it might be totally different for other companies. I think the most important part to have a healthy relationship to work is to accept the fact that you are a tool for the company. You might love the project…

Thanks for actual suggestions, rather than "scrap everything get a ref". Using the fact that this is a different world is kind of an excuse, but I want many of the things in this game to seem new. This isn't going to be a game with dragons, elves, dwarves, and standard fantasy fare as we know it. Ever since Tolkien wrote…
What we don't know won't hurt us right? You can argue all you want pro or con for vaccines, but at the end of the day we're all just relying on information that someone else tells us. the majority of us and everyone else out there aren't biochemists. We don't really know what goes on behind closed doors (clinical trials…
communication? I emailed (tried to call, couldnt get through) my congressman twice. Once about congress trying to ban the chemicals crucial to some promising hydrogen technology, and once about this net neutrality situation (both emails were sent a month or two ago). I never recieved a reply about the net neutrality email,…
John: I think you're running into what I'd refer to as "Ale and Whores Syndrome". I love the worlds of Dungeons and Dragons, and other pen and paper RPG's. I used to want to play with my friends, run campaigns even, or join someone else's. The problem was "Ale and Whores Syndrome". All the players wanted was to beat some…
