Early-Late 2000s CGI/Game textures

5rettski · 2025-08-11 01:24:03

How/what software was used to create PBR textures in the 2000s? For example, Iron Man. The reflective metal is something I've always been curious on how it was done for the time period. Another example is the older GTA's and Half-Life's. How do these textures look so real on the colormap alone?

This is the book I used for character art modelling.

I'm pretty sure I had the same book, I decided to go the animation path instead lol
