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. Adding Realism & Depth A 3D model without textures is lifeless. Why it matters: Improperly mapped textures break immersion.

Next, let’s take a look at the common 3D rendering processes in a 3D game engine: Shadow Map Rendering → 3D Objects Rendering → Screen Space Post-Processing → 2D Elements & UI Rendering. So, how do we obtain all these render textures? For example, world space position, world normal, color, depth, etc.

If they don’t create textures themselves, 3D modelers will work especially closely with texture artists and look development artists (aka surfacing artists) who will add realism and detail to their model through texture maps and shaders. They may also be required to use software that processes scans and photogrammetry.
