Art director just came back, he said the edge wear looks too much like a substance painter default filter. Can you make it more 'realistic' thanks.

@TheCartelDel A lot of people here are repeating the same chicken or egg drivel "don't release it then" That's exactly how you fix the issues, by releasing on a large user base then addressing all the strange setups that people own that cause issues. Not releasing helps no one

Taken from an answered question on the Game art Community Discord. If you aren't aligning your UV's before baking and are just 'hoping' they'll be fine for hard surface bakes at lower resolutions. You might want to look at this.

Distance based mesh density. Try and maintain density at scale. Generally when modeling large things the smaller something is the more you should maintain that density at scale when permitted to do so. View distance is the priority here, so this doesn't apply to fps props.

What Polish setting to use in ZBrush when smoothing out midpoly meshes for the 'smooth' look? I personally use Polish Crisp Edges with the circle unchecked, It preserves the underlying forms just enough while smoothing them. Polish with an open circle, avoid at all costs.

Complex example of using the deformation smooths in ZBrush Polish closed circle gives the best result but takes the longest on dense meshes Polish open circle adds a rim to edges. Polish Crisp closed circle on takes multiple smooths Polish Crisp open circle fastest & least uses

The biggest thing no one is talking about in regards to layoffs is that a loss in job is more than just switching over to somewhere new. Often you have to completely uproot yourself, move halfway across the world and change lifestyles. Families, finances & health are affected

I've used Max, Maya, Modo, cinema4d, blender, fusion and 3d coat in Industry. But I've never forced software into a development pipeline that wasn't native unless needed or necessary. You use what you're given unless you can use what you want. Never thought of that as an issue.

@AaditDoshi The common thought that game devs just run headstrong into bad ideas is usually a fallacy, they either hit or miss their market and succeed/fail. Most developers actually try and catch bad things way before release, we are gamers too and usually want our game to also succeed.

Famous first words of a university lecturer I had at Hertfordshire. "You are no longer art butterflies, You art art whores. You make work to sell, and to do that you can't be personal about your work" can't say I wholly agree, but there's a lot of truth in that statement.

@ArtOfPilgrim As a control you should show people what it looks like when the metallic is just 0 or 1, I totally agree in terms of the material response for dusts, rusts and oxides but people seem to not visually know why. It's the same reason blood in games is usually slightly metallic too
