Re: Dwarven Architectural Set (Image heavy)
Thank you Sheers! Glad you like the colors! It's probably the part where I've banged my head on the wall the longest.

There is no proprietary internal texture format. everything is just saved as tifs in a subfolder next to the mudbox file.

Re: [Workflow Quixel and xNormal] Boss Character 45K Polys and 8K Maps.
When using the exporter on 8k's and setting the res to 100% it was down ressing the outputs to 50% regardless of exporter settings (I was getting both 4k outputs as well as 8k's with 50% res) preview res was set to 100% if that makes any difference (this started in 1.6).

Re: Crits greatly appreciated (Al pacino sculpt)
Wow, @Musashidan, thanks a lot. Very helpful comment. I greatly appreciate the tips! I didn't realize how troublesome simple textures and hair were. I removed those and simplified the mesh from 16k polys to 4k. I'm mainly changing/moving things on the first 4k subdiv (16k was the first subdiv originally) I feel like that… -

Re: Have anyone figured out how new Curvature Smooth node works in Designer?
