So I wanted to ask a question to the polycount geniuses on best techniques to capture textures. At one point I thought that the best approach here is to just take a photo. However this doesnt work well for me because the shadows are always there, and sometimes I just cant Photoshop them away. Im starting to see some value in using a digital microscope to capture textures. It really gets a lot of details, and has a great lighting setup to counteract shadows. So the questions I have for you guys is
1. To capture textures would you prefer using a camera or a digital microscope
2. how would you set up a camera to capture textures
3. what would be a suggested digital microscope to buy
4. Im ideally looking for a way to capture textures anywhere, even on the go
