Re: Arm and Wrist Pain - how did you dealt with them?
Ah, colleague, I see... Hi, I´ve also abandoned 3d for almost 10 years for very similar reasons (my problem was more palm oriented, "trigger finger"). There´s this thread that could have some answers/tips for you: https://polycount.com/discussion/comment/2731090#Comment_2731090 I also posted there, if I were to sum up my… -
How are you actually handling AI-generated mesh cleanup before engine handoff?
Been integrating Meshy and Tripo outputs into UE5 pipelines for a while now and the generation step is no longer the problem — topology and textures come out reasonably usable for props and background assets. The problem is everything between export and the asset actually being in the project correctly. My current manual… -

Re: Can you bake and texture in 1024x2048?
To flip individual channels, hit the lil cogs icon next to "Normals" in your last screenshot. Y should be green unless you're mistaken. Please be patient while I practice my gas lighting effects. As for the idea itself of using non-square textures generally, TIL it's no longer a bad idea to do as long as you stick with… -

Re: How much of ZBrush do you guys actually use?
@iam717 cheers! Nice, so you're old school ZBrush like me when you're in it. @gnoop cool, you mentioned some things I missed and would definitely include. Polygroups are pretty useful. You mention a lot of tools I consider coming later in the process, ribbons, trims, etc. Are you bringing in characters to "finish" or… -
Re: May the 4th be with you 2026
Would you mind telling a bit more about the way you tackle these ? I suppose that the finer textured details are raster, but still, these shots and and your car and tank vector renderings recreations are really quite impressive in their accuracy, as they don't have the usual signs of vector work.
