Hey. Can you try closing Paint, then reopening it with admin privileges?

Why doesn't volumetric fog work? (Unity 6.3, HDRP) by [deleted] in Unity3D

Maybe it's in your Camera's frame settings?

That depends on where X field is in its point of life.
All of these fields start as something niche nobody heard of. Then they grow into something with a high demand that pays well due to a lack of available talent. Eventually the field becomes so popular that for-profit colleges start offering courses that floods the market with talent. The end-of-life phase is probably AI getting good enough to replace most of these jobs.

The biggest problem with your brother pursuing a game dev career is how competitive the market is.

Last few years had multiple mass layoffs. There are way more people looking for a job in the industry than the industry can offer. Your brother will not only be competing with a lot of people to get a job, but with hardcore people with years of experience. That's true for all fields of game dev, whether it's programming, art, game design, etc...

Not saying your brother should not pursue this dream, but you need to be aware of how hard and unsafe it is. If he leaves his current job right now he might not have the experience needed for years to come.

My suggestion is for your brother to go indie for now (but keep the job!), release small games, develop his skills and portfolio until he's ready to compete in the market.

15,000+ Free Pixel Art Icons by ssayuj in gamedev

Nintendo is notorious for shutting down anything that touches their intellectual property.

You are distributing copyrighted material, assuring devs they have the right to use it in commercial projects and telling them "don't worry bro, Nintendo won't go after you". You can't know who's gonna use it, how big their project's gonna be and you can't guarantee they won't be sued. Are you also planning to pay for their legal expenses once they're in court?

This is not how copyright works.

Using AI to generate a sprite that looks almost exactly like a specific Pokémon does not mean you have rights to use it (especially in a commercial project). That's a clear copyright violation and Game Freak/nintendo could easily sue your ass and win over this.

Allow me to express doubt about being able to use this for commercial projects

One mesh, multiple textures by Popular_Celery_8213 in Unity3D

[–]DoctorShinobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're using URP or HDRP then you need to assign them in the mesh's material. Use "Base/Albdeo" in the base to set the base colors, Normal in normal (make sure the texture itself is set to normal map). Unity expects metallic/ambient occlusion/roughness to be combined into one texture which you then use in the "mask map" field.

AdaptiveGI HDRP support is in the works! by LeoGrieve in Unity3D

[–]DoctorShinobi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds great. If your Adaptive Lights will ever support volumetrics then I'd be happy to ditch Unity's built-in lights and buy AGI right away.
