Low Poly optimization: Speed/Quality balance for next-gen production
A question for the Character Artists out there. On current-gen projects, low poly modeling has been the fastest step of the production pipeline. The most straight forward one, while High-Poly sculpting/modeling and texture painting would take usually longer. With the next-gen specs and some new tools, such as Marvelous… -

Re: I'm thinking 3rd party ought to be treated better, an article worth reading in troubling times.
And because I know that nobody will actually read articles like that, let me break it down barney style: Business problems stem from people problems.
