@maxliani @graykevinb But the sad thing is that your boss has played a part in creating people like that.

@graykevinb Good on you.
But relax, you don’t have to explain this to me. I spent a decade of my life implementing CPU/GPU based path tracers for the film industry.

@JoeWilsonEQ1 @ThatNgonGuy I don't quite understand the benefit of FW Normals and then baking them (bevels)?
It's a waste of texture space. Usually you will use it with mesh decals for details and tileable mats (optional rgb masks).

A couple of people asked about using custom normals to control shading. This is absolutely something you can do, and face-weighted normals are a great option. Provided your vertex budget is high enough to bevel your edges, which FWN generally requires.

Following up on some discussion we had yesterday, I wanted to show some examples of different hard-edge and UV layouts, and talk about the pros and cons of different choices we can make. 🧵-->

@tinybugbot Unfortunately there's still a bug preventing you to bake hard edges on split uv seams. A massive pipeline blocker.

@ArtOfPilgrim I hope the overvalued AI investment bubble bursts this year.
English
and the reason for the insane price hike (outside panic buying) is because of the increase in demand from AI data centers and servers.
the ones that scrape your data without permission or consent are now making it harder to upgrade your hardware

and just like that..... the PC gaming/hardware DIY scene is COMPLETELY destroyed in a span of a month. this is absolutely fucked man 😭 some of these kits were like ~$110-$120 CAD a couple of months ago....

@3DxDEV7 @someidesign AI grifter doesn't know what a trimsheet is.
English
This is absolutely INCREDIBLE! 🤯🔥
@someidesign has showcased a stunning #trimsheet generated with #NanobananaAI! The details and textures are next level. 👏

@ThatNgonGuy Yeb great timesaver. It works very well with floaters too.

I'm going to say something that sounds like I'm going counter to what I've been talking about up until now:
Subdiv modeling sucks for high poly gamedev and if I have a choice, I'll most often choose not to do it.
Bevel shader is my #1 choice hands down.

@gloefflmann Finde ich nicht lustig. Es ist ein ernsthaftes, gesellschaftliches Problem, wenn jedes Jahr zu Pfingsten Senioren aus ihren Pflegeheimen fliehen können!

Verheugen ist ja auch Präsident der Vereinigung deutscher Polit-Rentner zum Schutz russischer Langstreckenbomber e.V. (VgDtPolRtzRussLaBomeV)
Teddy von Bär@teddyvonbaer
Es ist erschreckend, wie Gunter Verheugen durchdreht, wenn die Bomber seines geliebten Russlands nicht mehr sicher auf ukrainische Städte abwerfen können. Und @CarloMasala1 scheint er auch nicht zu Mögen.

@henningsanden In my opinion it is a waste of time. Environmental game assets are often kinda "dirty".
English
@TBertrandDesign Thanks! Would there be any benefit to the production to manually retopo rocks or are the gains not worth the time it takes?
English
Maybe I’m thinking of eating the forbidden fruit here but how viable is it to simply decimate the high res Zbrush model and call it a day for the low poly?
I assume:
Char and hero props - big no
Env and non hero props - maybe?
(For games, not film)
English
@ArtOfPilgrim Also a reminder of how many good forums have simply vanished in the meantime.

This resource was a gold mine when I was younger. Its how I learned to texture hard surface assets.
We gotta continue the tradition in sharing our knowledge. I promise you, it'll immeasurably help others make the start they needed.

I wonder who uses mudbox over zbrush in a production setting?
and why?
80 LEVEL@80Level
Autodesk released Mudbox 2026, marking the fifth year in a row with a "minor update" that brings no new features. The only change is a lower monthly subscription cost: 80.lv/articles/autod…
