Re: [PORTFOLIO] Emma Smith
I think you missed the point of why we were saying to "jazz" it up. There is nothing wrong with having a clean and simple layout. And there is nothing wrong with the carbonmade layout.

Re: NDO 2- is it worth it?
The main differences between CB and nDO is that nDo is PS based and CB is external. I tend to use nDo if i'm generating a normal map exclusively in PS, as it reduces the steps from heightmap> crazybump and you can make the normals from selections and brush strokes etc., which is really awesome, but for everything else I… -

Re: SDK - Slaughtguy
Cool to see someone still doing some oldschool Quake 3 stuff! He's quite boring though, it would be cool to see some sort of gear on him. Shouldn't hurt your budget or your current unwrap really, since the original models from Quake 3 were 800-900 tris, and often had some gear on its own 128x128 or 64x64 map. Also, I would… -
Re: VR - The Virtual Reality News/Games/Products Thread
Decentraland - https://decentraland.org/ Plots of VR land originally sold for $800 are already reselling for $180,000 so I thought I would post this as its quite a unique project in a largely untested market.
