If you know shit, small steps and surprises seem like a trip to the moon with Ronald Reagen congratulating you…
Hello there I am Modelling this Asset, for a Small sized prop what size texture would be used and how many texture maps would you use. Because I'm trying to bake the high poly onto the low poly and am finding on the high res it is capturing the edges better. Link to Assets:…
It's nothing to do with what you say Greevar. It's how you say it. You are trying to win a debate.
