Im having tons of fun with this character! Doing a Blender test

Its so much fun to see the ratings coming in for the Brush Kit we launched recently!

First Marmoset bake test with auto uvs. Tons of issues but Im the progress so far!

For games, whats the correct way to smooth the normals for a character? Currently Im using Soften Edges in Maya. Do you do a uniform soften based on the angle or do different areas get a custom angle?

Topo more or less done, now to crush ngons

You know how marketing for movies are lying or severely undermining the work of VFX companies? It's because the audience likes when things are 'real'. Imagine a movie being made with AI - the backlash would be 100x more intense than this.

Gorgeous! What a lovely project

In games, are poles okay or should they generally be avoided? If they are bad, what's the consequence of having them?

Im making some progress on the back and tail
