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.

It helps reduce the amount of detail by simplifying polygons and textures as they get further away from the camera. Generally, the closer to camera, the more level of detail (surface details, textures, shadows, etc. For example, when viewing an object from far away, only basic features such as color and geometry may need to be visible.

It simplifies the process of generating and manipulating materials, textures, and lighting effects. Shader Graph can also be used to create custom shaders by connecting nodes that define operations such as colour blending, texture mapping, and light calculations. Introduced in Unity 2018.3,

3D models can be rigged and then animated, placed as stationary objects in a scene by a layout artist, simulated or destroyed by an FX artist, and used for shadows or holdouts by a lighting artist. 3D modeling software 3D modelers use a range of software for modeling, sculpting, and texturing.
