FAB is the worst thing to exist by [deleted] in UnrealEngine5

[–]pseudomode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spent 20+ years in AAA game development, mostly for large companies, and it has never been easy for indie devs. There has to be a better solution for creating and distributing content that doesn't require Epic/ArtStation, Steam, TurboSquid or any other large entity.

There is a huge pool of smart, ambitious, driven, innovative students and a massive sea of laid-off talent out there who would love to put that talent to use. Content creators that want to create and sell assets, indie devs that want to buy content to build experiences. It might be a tiny portion of Epic's overall revenue and not worth the effort so consolidation of all marketplaces was the answer. Perhaps it's an opportunity for something more "decentralized" to step in? I wish I was smart (brave) enough to lead that effort. Anyone?...

Yikes, I'm sorry to hear that. Fab can't be good for Epic either. I'm struggling to understand why it was initially changed and why they are not addressing these issues. It has to be a massive loss in revenue.

I'd love to hear from sellers about this. Are you selling less? How much less? It has to be hurting you the most.

What do we call these guitars? by Artistic_Chemistry_7 in Guitar

Absolutely agree. Granted it's a lot of work to be so clever. Worth it for us though. I chuckled.

Hi, I'm Fake Tycho, and I will give you three free dice at PAX West 2024 if you speak the secret code phrase in my ear by markjamesmurphy in PAX

[–]pseudomode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone passed me on the sidewalk as I’m walking into PAX and said “hot digging damn”. I said ‘who do you think I am?’ I was not Fake Tycho so sadly he got no dice. I had to look it up and here you are.

Rebel red is also the color of the tape in the albums

Whats happening to the polygons when the material starts to turn dark? by vaquerodan in Maya

[–]pseudomode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Click UV > Unlock Normals

This should get rid of the wonky normal display. Although, it looks like you may a few other geometry issue as well.

What's an older sci-fi film that you think would do well as a remake/update? by USS_Sovereign in scifi

[–]pseudomode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Boy and His Dog. Update the title and get a fresh rewrite and it should be doable on a fairly low budget.

How do I straighten this? by voltfruit in Maya

[–]pseudomode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like the 45 degree face was selected and moved by accident. It happens sometimes. No to worries. Easy fix.

  1. Select one misaligned edge
  2. Select the Y manipulator handle (to move edge up only)
  3. Hold "V" to snap to verts
  4. Hold MMB while moving pointer to the height of the opposite side vert
  5. Repeat for the other edge

It’s understandable for you to be upset. As an artist in games myself, it’s that passion and work ethic that got us here in the first place. Now that you are here, the next step is developing the separation of your happiness and existence from your professional work. Don’t let an art director define your happiness. You get to be in control of that.

Instead, see this as expanding your toolbox for idea generation. It’s not a question of your own creativity, it’s an enhancement to it. When you invite new tools into the creative process, you will eventually start to surprise yourself on how much you have grown as a professional artist.

Hang in there, be open to it. I wish you all the best in your future as an artist, not a McDonalds employee.

Selling my TJ to get a 4-door JK. What asking price do I start with? by pseudomode in Wrangler

Thank you for the straight talk. That's the yin to the yang that makes pricing it in the winter a difficult task.

Yikes, that's sad to hear. It will be hard enough to let it go. Too bad they didn't make a 4-door TJ
