Straight to the point as always

Haha, I still feel like I waffle too much. I was really surprised when this video came out at just over 11 minutes. I usually can't keep them under 15 :P

Awesome! Thank you! I shall share this far and wide! Amazing tutorials as always!

Hello, What addon is this pie menu in 2:11?

[@JamieDunbar]

Hey David. That's called "Interface:3D viewport pie menus". It comes default with Blender and has about 15 or so different pie menus you can choose to turn on or not.

Is there a texture tutorial as well?

[@JamieDunbar]

I have a few tutorials that talk about texturing. It depends what you’re hoping to learn, but this one is texturing specifically for Lapras: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqmuh3djnd94o68

Does the normals maps baked from this method work in unreal? Cuz I I baked normal maps using blender before and when I imported it into unreal there are a lot of seams and weird shading appeared even though it looks fine in blender. Is this due to my uvs being mirror when baking? Plz help

[@JamieDunbar]

Hey Justin. I'm not familiar enough with Unreal to be sure, but there's a few things it could be. Firstly, yes there's a good chance mirrored UVs could be causing a problem. Make a backup copy of your scene, quickly redo your UVs and rebake. If those seems disappear, that's your issue and you can always come back and do a better job of the UVs. There's also a couple of different ways to bake normal maps and I don't know which version Unreal uses. Check out this article by CGCookie.
