Triangulation really can screw you over, that is true. (But damn I hate buying an asset for it to be triangulated without a quad version) (The assets are not for sale, but I just meant that an unwrap for unknown tangent space would make a safe approach that always works a good choice) Batching Workflow (offtopic from UV…
Hi Sakis! I'm from Greece as well :) After taking a look at your portfolio i would say there's a consistent problem with lighting in your scenes, and that is bringing them down by a lot.
