Your problem is on modelling side. I see same huge shading gradients on your mesh too. And while normal map can theoretically counter-measure them in a perfectly "synced" workflow you would never get it looking perfectly right in actual game anyway . 8 bit normal map with compression just doesn't have enough precision for…
They will just create/steal/borrow/bribe/underpay people who make styles and pretend the (a eye), did the thing then mix and match, tests to add variation and say look it learned... unless they have donated brains in some building underground or something, i doubt they can "generate/script/program" and (a eye) I wouldn't…
This is sad news, Kevin was a huge inspiration. I adored his gear of war work and it was one of the first examples I’d seen of how z brush could be used on environment assets. RIP
Do you have an example? Objects (especially ones that can be broken down into primitive shapes) have perspective/vanishing points too. Else you have to eyeball. I think when translating 2D designs into 3D, one should focus on capturing the "essence", so the 3D model stands on its own and doesn't fall apart from certain…
