Blender is struggling. it's the best piece of 3d software on the market, and it's free. I'm not going back to autodesk.

I dug into that recent Pokémon patent on @theverge.com in the interest of getting some facts straight www.theverge.com/games/779062...
No, Nintendo and Pokémon did not patent ‘summoning characters and making them battle’
Is that even allowed?

An interesting thing about Silksong is the way that it combines elements of the classic Metroid and Castlevania games. Could this be the start of a new genre?

We make games quicker by HIRING PRODUCERS

JUST HIRE A PRODUCER

DO YOU KNOW MUCH TIME IS WASTED CHASING AND RE DOING SHIT IN PROJECTS WHICH DONT HAVE PRODUCERS

I went ahead and unwrapped and baked the plastic part and found that the toolbag 5 bevel shader looks even more cohesive when baked down. Especially around the text. It's just floating there. Not even booleaned in or anything. Magic!
