LK - Ace - Shaders
Hey to all, I decided to release my own created shaders which I'm creating for Max at school, also, I'm kind of a lazy person who doesn't want to export his models since...well...I'm lazy...I know, paradox at it's finest, creating shaders to avoid something else which is easier to do, awesome idea. I know everyone uses… -

Environment Artist Workflow?
Hay guys, before I try to explain myself ill try to put it short as to what im trying to achieve. I am wondering what the best workflow is for an environment artist who wants to generate normal/ roughness/ diffuse/ metallic maps with a high/ low poly model of multiple assets on one UV map in Maya. I have already made low… -
Max 2011 Destroyed Normals
I've looked in several places and I can't find a solution within Max to fix this (though I may be overlooking a solution out on the web somewhere). Here's the skinny. I first noticed this when baking out a model a long time ago. In Max, it looks just fine in the viewport, but looks can be deceiving. Once baking the model,… -
Re: 40k Darktide Lasgun fan art (critique please)
Hi! Regarding presentation/ accessibility on the forums, you could export as jpg and attach as images not files (or drag directly into a post). Regarding the work itself: While it might be in line with the original 40k design (here it would help to include references for people unfamiliar with the subject), I think the gun… -
Re: [FOLIAGE] ~ My fourth attempt at making trees, I'd use some critique and advice...

Re: Weekly Substance Challenge
Hello everyone! I'm just joining and have all the weeks up to the current finally finished. I'll be attaching my .SBS files as well for anyone who wants to learn from what I did. I also had issues with some of my .SBSAR files importing properly into Marmoset, maybe someone else could take a look. More on that below. Week 1… -
Re: Heavily Modified P90 "Savage Hunter"
Well, unless the model is going into unreal or something, which has fucked tangent bias, then you will want to avoid excessively stitching UVs. However this is a choice that should always be made depending on where the asset is ending up. If you're going to display it in the viewport, with a quality shader that has synced… -
Re: Some questions from a beginner
Welcome to Polycount :) Intersecting geometry is usually ok. Non welded geometry is ok in 99% of the game engines out there. Deleting faces not seen by the player is ok. Rather than rely on booleans or pro-booleans you should learn how to merge up different pieces of geometry with the other modeling tools you have… -
Re: Directory Structure for game project?
we had this discussion recently at work because we had for years a bloated system in place for everyone to work with. The bad thing we had were to many pre defined folders that were not really used, so the new one had the following unique details:* short folder names, more close to back end dev conventions (3-4 chars if…
