I've seen folks do wonders with polypaint in ZBrush but using 3D Coat for handpainting just feels so much smoother with their brushes/blending tools and brush type options (paint by polys is a thing there too). You can also bake the AO in 3D Coat too but I haven't compared it to baking the AO in SP

Letโ€™s Be Clear: Artists & Creators Must Have Transparency NOW! Every single day we donโ€™t have transparency, the value of copyright loses ground and the harms inflicted to creative industries grow. California has always been on the forefront of policies that can ...

Friends, we got a call to action ๐Ÿ‘‡

We have the right to know when and how our creative works are used, especially when it comes to GenAi!

This is why we need regulation like Californiaโ€™s Ai Copyright Transparency Act #AB-412 !

If you agree, especially if in CA, please sign & share this petition!

in a time where real life stories are so bleak, i thank the artists, directors and writers for always giving us hope. it's all we can latch on to, no matter what. i encourage you to also find the glimmer of light and keep making the world brighter, in any way you can. thank you, superman :)๐Ÿฆธ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Watched #KpopDemonHunters today! It was really good.

The story was cute, the songs were catchy, the outfits and character designs were fabulous.

Definitely worth the watch!

Please donโ€™t stop making art because you feel guilt about doing so in these times. Itโ€™s your life raft that helps you hold on and I promise you itโ€™s helping other people hold on too. Donโ€™t ignore and look away from whatโ€™s happening but donโ€™t let it paralyze you either

Any game that has a "scare" tactic by actually doxxing you, is not a good game at all and is a horrible practice.
DO NOT put this into games wtf

Remember making art and expressing joy is a form of protest. They want you to be overwhelmed and lose sight of the beauty around you. They want to distract you and control your gaze to be locked in fear. Dare to look and gaze on the world around you with joy and wonder.
