1. I'm not sure I fully understand the question but I'll write some stuff anyway :) . Companies like Pixar and Dreamworks will paint textures to achieve a cartoony look. It used to be much more common to use procedural shaders that are evaluated at render time rather than textures. These saved on memory and disk storage,…
Hello - no problem, always happy to help :) A few more things : - - - - - "Something else I clearly never knew up to this point is that...a model can be lowpoly like Sdiv lvl 1 and for the render only to go highpoly like Sdiv 4-5, is that right?

That wall is the implementation of: Linear Workflow and the many hurdles of…
wow looks great really great improvement so far, the new texture is looking perfect, you might not need fancy pants maps on top of a good defuse like that. Suggestions: You have a great handle on direct lights and thats exactly what you want when you go to do lighting for games, 75% of lighting for games is direct lighting…
