20-40 materials is (to use a technical term) fuck all - You have nothing to worry about. Assuming you're in Ue4 look at the stat console commands to see draw calls/frame times etc. Don't get too hung up on it though, if you've done a village with 20-40 materials you're probably doing it right
For Movies only Mari, there is no competition. No other software can handle 40 patches of 8K textures. I work at MPC Film Division and our LOD A characters are about 30-40 patches of 8K textures. For LOD A+ assets like vehicles and trees have 100 or more 8K patches. Mari is the best software for multiple UV assets.
Hi Vig :) what does 'baking in the IK' means? I don't understand that... About the gaps, what do you mean by gaps between the planted keys? I also don't understand that.... My walk cycle was made with quaternion curves and auto-key :shifty: 40 frames > keys on frames 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40
