You're not hearing me, Eric. What you are describing is an Art-directors job. How many paid art-directors positions are out there? how many folks wanted to just have a comfy IT job without much management? Do the math. Corpos don't need that many visionaires, those seats are already occupied by their kids. And yeah, I got…
Oh wow, that's great feedback - thank you! Makes total sense. I'd love to address and update the post based on those notes. And good catch, I actually only really used a Photoshop AI tool (Generative Fill) here and there to help make it seamless. Gigapixel and Upscayl were NOT used at all actually. That was probably a…
Hi everyone, first time posting here. I'm working on a stylized Japanese bamboo forest in UE5, inspired by traditional Japanese art (ukiyo-e and Japanese painting). I'm going for a soft, painterly look with a lot of atmospheric haze — distant elements fading into the mist. 24-hour lighting (GIF): one Blueprint slider takes…
Hello everyone, I'm reaching out to discuss a highly technical topic today. It's about the incredibly realistic animations in the upcoming game ILL.

How I've been handling it: * Build the stack in a fixed order (Surface Comb → Rotate → Clump → Curl → Frizz → Detail → Noise → Gravity → Change Width) so…
Hello everyone, I want to share a new tool I've been developing for some time now called VmBaker. It is a texture baking tool mainly targeted at game developers for making low-poly models - but it's really up to you how you want to use it. If you're tired of exporting models from Maya to Blender just to bake beveled edges,…
this is a very simple spherical robot now it has 8500 tris and it can get more low but the difficulty I always face is how to low poly spherical shape and cylindrical shape cause if it too low then facet edges will be visible and will be prominent in texturing part so how to low poly these types one more question how to…
Hi everyone, I’m trying to recreate this kind of anime coloring/shading style from One Piece (image attached). What I’m specifically trying to achieve: * Strong cel shading with soft transitions in some areas (like the face and hair) * Intense glow/red eye effect * Clean but dynamic highlights in hair (not overly…
