They can be rigged and animated, placed as a stationary object in a scene, combined with other assets to create a set/environment, simmed or destroyed, and used for shadows or holdouts. It helps reduce the amount of detail by simplifying polygons and textures as they get further away from the camera. What is level of detail (LOD)?

Control rigs for the crew and X-Wing models. Building Control Rigs for a crew member. I found one beautiful high-poly model by Charles Woods on Sketchfab, but the textures were made to look a little too damaged for what I was looking for. X-Wing animation using Control Rigs. Staying organized.

Almost every 3D asset is painted using only one atlas texture. As I mentioned before – almost every 3D object uses the same atlas texture. Adjusting mesh, rig and skinning needed a couple of iterations. They are textured using the same atlas map and need to fit into the grid size.

Now that both versions of the Cathedral models are complete, Cass can begin unwrapping the UV's before diving into the tedious texture work. This sprint, Karena was able to tackle the UVs and begin texturing. Rigging / Animation. Take a look! Here's a look at Nick's 3D version of the Myrtuna crest.

After working with the hair cards for awhile, it dawned on Pete that he could actually create a proxy texture that would easily troubleshoot the orientation of each card. During his first official pass, Pete was finally able to make the textures and shaders work in tandem. Convenient, right? 3D Environmental Design.

Now that he's done with the model itself, Cass will focus on unwrapping the UV's before getting started on the detailed texturing for this colossal beauty. With Shelly's keen eye for detail (and impressive modeling and texturing skills), she's been able to capture exactly that with her new and improved crystal models.
