Shaping the Games Look & Feel Concept art acts as the visual blueprint for the games characters, environments, and props. Why it matters: Efficient UV mapping and normal map baking allow high-detail textures to be applied to low-poly models, preserving visual fidelity without unnecessary computational overhead.

3D modelers apply many processes to improve the look and usability of their assets when creating the characters, props, and sets that feature in your favorite video games and films. Texture baking Texture baking allows you to generate 2D texture maps from a 3D model's high polygon count and is a technique used particularly in video games.

Players are able to create their own tracks using road parts, obstacles and props. Adjusting mesh, rig and skinning needed a couple of iterations. Majority of props work on the same principles as the rest of assets. In the editor props are spawned procedurally – it took some time to organize scripts and meshes properly.

While building up the hair shader, however, Pete struggled to find a way to actually bake out the flow map information (meaning: the directional flow of the hair cards) onto an image pulled from the 3D suites our modeling team typically uses, like Maya and Blender. link] Rigging / Animation. Convenient, right?
