Well you're right, my professional experience is all open-world stuff, so it's usually a question of 'does it even need a normal/spec map?' rather than whether it needs a color spec map or not. I do have a personal interest in this stuff though, and I try to keep myself up-to-date on what other people are doing. Always up…
@Zwebbie I'm not planning to write about "stereotypes are bad blah blah", the aim of the paper is to show examples of stereotypes and the get the perspective views of gamers and designers and whether there is a reasoning behind the inclusion of these stereotypes and whether they effect the gamers outlook of the game.

I want to render it in Marmoset. But I can try to make a bigger difference in roughness in the asset. I will check the example that you…
Having a clean project from the start and backing up your porgress in Perforce is very helpfull!

Have anyone noticed any advantage of Fuji X-trans cameras over Bayer ones with similar matrix resolution for capturing tiny mesh details ? I heard rumors that xtrans performs better but never noticed any advantages visually in the images . Contrary for example to old foveon matrix camera and its vastly superior sharpness…
There's a couple ways you can approach this and it depends on whether or not the overall surface is curved or flat. #1: the issue is there's an uneven or unmatched number of segments between the inside and outside shapes. #2: use less geometry on the outside radius and match the number of segments on the inside radius. #3:…
You certainly can, however the purpose of trim is reusability too so unless you have some similar assets like bicycle for example that can use that same trimsheet it will just be like a unique texture. Here is a good example https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Z5Ngl8
