Nothingness(dark) turns into something with Thought(light)

It's interesting that us, humans, take chaos (around us) and turn it into a discipline (or a science). Taking something that seems extremely random, invisible (to the eye) with unfathomable logic and turn it into something usable, and not only usable but something that will push our technologies even further.

- Learned about UE4's Level Sequence (Matinee turned into Legacy)
- Watched "Creating Skin Subsurface Materials In Unreal Engine 4 Tutorial Basics" from HiredGun Games
- Customized his ^ ideas of the shader to fit my needs
- Discovered a problem, upon importing a 3ds Max 2015 scene into 3ds Max 2017, then exporting from 2017 the scene as an .fbx back into 2015, Normal/Smoothing Group issue arises. It looks fine in viewport but in UE4/Marmoset it looks busted.
- To solve the issue one can export the geo from 2015 as an .obj, then re-import it, and replace the mesh. Then upon exporting as an .fbx from 2015, the normal groups should look fine.

recapitulation

I'm going to try to post everyday, almost as a meditative way of grounding the days. Trying to express, even in point form, the activities of the day. So, I'd be able to look back and see 'time'. Unlike now, when days blur into years.
