In this thread, I mention that you should straighten things that are straight in 3D, but I didn’t explain why very well or provide a good visual example. The main reason to do this is for bake quality. So let’s dive in 🧵->

Replying to @VladK133
@VladK133 You say that all ex contractors were paid, then why I still haven't been paid for my last 3 invoices since August 2025?

Lighting For Games Tip💡 You can change your screen to black and white using a hotkey without downloading any plugins. It's already built into windows. Analysing your scenes in B&W is very helpful for balancing the value hierarchy of your project. ⬇️

My high poly meshes usually have more obvious shading errors than Jordan shows here, and are pretty much never visible in the final in-game asset. Zoom out and stop previewing in/fussing over conditions that nobody else will experience.
Stress less about high poly shading errors in gamedev. Chances are you won't see most of them anyway. Always keep in mind the 6 levels of "Does It Matter?": - Model - Bake - Texture - Compression - In-game effects - Viewing distance Good Enough™ will save you time and sanity.
