I would just like to add my two cents, Even the tittle of thread offends me. The whole idea of having a seperate Market Place area was for a reason, for people to showcase their work for purchase.
Why have people decided it’s acceptable to use area for a thread that SHOULD be located in general discussion forums, Obvious answer to thread is if you don’t want market place content don’t buy it. Simple
Also i would like to make a distinction between Generic and Specific content design. I aggree with Mr Baldwin from Eat3D, If an AAA is looking for character design or very specific genre related assets that’s something that will always be either done internally or out sourced on a contract basis. The odds of AAA buying generic assets like that which are fundamental to the whole ethos of any project would be counter productive.
But i would also say that not everything comes under that bracket, Ive been working on some terrain packs for the community with start to finish video tutorials of the whole process from conception to in scene. How to edit the generic assets provided within the pack by mixing maps for the end user to get something completly different and unique. I personally would not appreciate being tarred with the brush, All bought assets are useless for unique results. It’s all about how you use those assets to generate value added results for small outlays of finance. I provide all source map art assets, Provide Blender 3D scene files for hand sculpting and procedural texturing, Blender 3D scene’s for Baking out your modified textures, Normal maps, Displace, AO, SSS, Lightmaps, And your New scene height map in 16bit format after sculpting and editing to fully match your now modified and unique terrain.
Every time ive been trying to get some focus on what im doing Poxy thread keeps robbing me of views, So might as well use it to make my point.
