I started with this low poly mesh: I UV'd it in Headus UV layout I worked on the high poly in ZBrush but this particular model didn't end up there, I intended to bake down. I decided that I didn't need most of…

Start the app. Attempt to start the game, but it does not start. It brings up the screen you get when you finish playing(see image). Sometimes if I restart my…
I've recently started my next personal project, an environment in the style of Ratchet and Clank. Included in that environment would be Aphelion. I started there. This is my low poly version. I just finished it. So, I haven't started cutting out polygons, if I even need to(let me know if I should). With everything…
