Bad Decisions Podcast

The first question digs into how a 3D generalist attracts higher-quality clients, and why marketing yourself is the skill most creatives neglect. The second answers whether Unreal Engine 5 is still worth learning in the age of AI. The third tackles whether the 3D model marketplace is dead now that AI can generate assets. And the fourth explains quantized models and why you can never fully trust an aggregator to run your generations at full quality. This is our first Q&A episode.

Epic's MCP integration inside Unreal Engine is already producing great demos from the creator community. ComfyUI shipped their official MCP implementation the same week, closing the gap and unlocking a serious local-hosting workflow. And US enterprise is quietly migrating to Chinese open-source models at scale, cutting costs by up to 75x while OpenAI restricts GPT 5.6 to trusted partners only.
