Re: Blender, hard surface and traction in the industry.
Back a few years ago I used 3DSMax a lot and also used a little Maya. In my opinion, 3DSMax is a better modeling tool that Mya and it is widely used in the game industry. In my team, most artist use 3DSMax. Maya has its strength but they are not on the modeling side of 3D. Personally I made the switch to Blender about 4… -
General questions about materials, lightmap and performance.
Hi, i've started to learn how to bake light this week, and have some other questions concerning performance and materials that i can't find info about. 1. What are those other colorful maps that you get when you bake lightmaps? it seems that there are 3 of them. 2. When you have modular pieces like a wall that have an… -
Re: Texture baking features?
Thank you for the precise explanation, I really appreciate it. I just can't believe I forgot about the limitation of number of attributes per vertex, now it's clear to me how "baking" those attributes could be useful. However, would it be correct to assume that you're talking about data extraction from low poly object… -
Headed to Europe, I've a question about currency
Hey everyone :) Gail and I are off to Europe in 3 weeks and I have a question about currency. I'd like to have cash on us and we're hoping you guys could give us advice on what we should carry on us (pounds? Euros?)

Re: Lets hear about those... gory, FUN, injuries.
I think my only major injury was the time I fractured my skull. Basically, when I was like 6 or something, I fell about 10-20 feet backwards and landed on concrete head-first. There was a lot of blacking out, dreaming about people/things that weren't there, and then I threw up some purple stuff two days later and was more… -
Some questions about environment art
Hey there! I've been self teaching myself environment art for a few months now and I had a few questions about it. - Is Substance Designer mandatory? I've been teaching myself this program for the past month or two and I just can't seem to get anything the way I want it to look. Before I spend more time studying it, I… -
Re: !!TEXTEL DENSITY PROBLEM!! PLEASE HELP ME SOLVING AND UNDERSTANDING THIS PROBLEM
There's no real reason to not use UDIMs - it's just another texture set as far as painter (and anything else) is concerned. In painter they can be named and export presets can be built to output whatever file names you like (on the most recent versions at least). We're actually using the UDIM workflow in painter quite… -
A few questions about normal maps
I asked these questions five days ago on the "official" Substance forum and receive 0 replies. I'll try here. ---- I've gone through some tutorials and done some experimenting, but had a couple of questions about creation and usage of height and normal maps. My (limited) understanding is that when you are painting… -
hows about a focused critique forum?
this might be a waste of effort, but i was thinkin about it and figgure that it might be cool to create a forum for brutal, harsh, focused critique. where if you post your model there, people are aloud to spout the most ruthless brutal opinion. often times i look for a critique from a friend only to be met with the old 2…
