One of the most toxic things on the planet in my opinion is barring artists who have worked often times more than a year on some project from showing ANY OF THEIR WORK. Imagine if you left university and the dean was like "I know you did a bunch of hard work-" /2

If game companies are going to relocate devs to fire them months after, the least they could do is allow those devs to showcase any work they want in their portfolio to help them find a new job. As it is now, a lot of them have a say on what you share on your Artstation...

just how much BS they are trying to get them to poly reduce. Unless the person is like "I am going into mobile games and only mobile games" then yes - and it is important to know what you can bake down - BUT inform them it is at the cost of juicy detail in a silhouette.

AND- if you tell them to delete "faces you can't see" be damn sure that you're never going to see them. Ask them "are you ever going to simulate this falling apart? Are you ever going to look underneath this?" etc. If the answer is yes even for a moment, then keep the polygons!

The worst thing ever is when you over-optimize a model - because you can not go back the other way to retrieve extra detail. If you have a shit ton of geometry to work with as your base line, you can always topo over, LOD away, and decimate shit to be where you need it.

My UE tip of the day is to edit materials that only have a multiply, to include a power / exponent in front of it as well. This helps drive contrast, and is so needed when you have muddy opacity maps or you lack contrast. Default Megascans decal only has multiply, so I changed it

Looks like I have some options 👀 holding my breath but I think my boss just secured work and can keep me at FF (full remote is better for me) so we'll see what's around the corner but it's looking like I may be reverse laid off???? 🤔🤩😅

Does any other 3D artist have a habit of taking their modeling/sculpting to 500 - and by that I mean if your scene has like 40 assets you need to make, you would rather model them *all* first, then *all* get a uv unwrap, then *all* get textured - am I a maniac for that?

My eyebrows shot off my face because a dev studio I really respect just messaged me and wants me to do their fluid system with fluid ninja live and like, damn, I'm honoured, but I should probably learn more about fluid ninja, I feel under prepared! But I want to take the job

Wild to me that my choice to not buy or play a video game warrants people emailing my boss and trying to expose me for my views and get me fired- Good luck and I hope you find some peace inside yourself, touch some grass, maybe buy a smoothie I like smoothies

@macaiyla @JennyYokobori Do you realize how privileged this sounds? This is literally like asking someone to make a custom suit of armour and then being upset that it takes an artisan TIME to EXECUTE their CRAFT. if you want, you can buy your armour off Wish. Or you can wait patiently and professionally.

think I've applied to like 5-6~ ish places per day for the last little while now, I already feel like an anxious teen waiting for a text back from their high school crush. I haven't even been on the first date yet guys, and I'm a wreck 🫣

Crunch, you mean, working unpaid OT? The guy who got blocked by insomniac, Imagine walking into an office and saying "gee whiz, these kids sure aren't working as hard as they used to, you should give them 60 hr work weeks with 40 hr pay!" and being confused as to why you're💩

@nina_m_klos this one is one of my favourite from how ez it was - this was when the new space telescope uploaded space images, I yoinked one, and then had a clouds texture from Substance Designer with disorder exposed, animated disorder with a camera-based-warble &✨

I investigated what all the blend modes do straight away, but it's super important to know what all the blend modes do! This guy covers it awesome and in depth so you never have to guess ever again in substance painter/designer.

It's portfolio day and I wanted to remind everyone that your work does not expire, and even if you posted it 5 days ago, or 5 years ago, if you really love it and you're proud of it, share and let us be proud with you 🧡
