Every developer has opinions about the way they want their code to look: tabs vs spaces, single quotes vs double quotes, 80 char line length vs 120. Languages often provide guides on how you're meant to style your code.  Python has "PEP 8" and GDScript has a s...

Bad Diff Here's an example of a diff that contains style changes at the same time as a functional change. Can you find the needle in the haystack: Good luck finding what changed. Could you approve that code review saying you understand what happened with a...

The purpose of the block mesh is to spend less than 15 minutes to create an extremely rough block out version of the model that can be  used as a stand-in version of the asset. This allows us to get an early version in the game asap so that the level designers...

Once the block mesh plus has been approved, it's time to refine it into a high quality high resolution mesh. There are multiple ways to do this depending on the asset you're trying to make: hard surface models tend to rely on subdivision surface workflows and ...

Since the high resolution mesh often has hundreds of thousands, if not millions of polygons, it can't be used in-game. We need to create a low-resolution version of the mesh. Usually the involves re-topology, but we can usually get a good start by copying the ...

For the materials we will extract information from the high resolution model and apply it to the low resolution model. This information can be used to mix materials and make the assets look professional. Goals Bake mesh maps from the high poly to the low poly...

All art files should use `snake_case`: all lower case letters, with underscores to separate words. Exceptions:* It's okay to leave reference images with their default name, just keep them in the `reference` folder next to the asset. All content within a .ble...
