Hi everyone! I’m from Korea and currently studying game design on my own to break into the industry. I actually graduated with a bachelor's degree in korea Architecture, but I decided to transition into games because I find this field much more exciting and fulfilling. I have a quick question for those based in Europe or…

Also, for the stage that you're at, the image quality is not really a hinderance at all. You just want people to be able to see your…
This is super cool ! I’m not as experienced with game assets, so I won’t comment on the technical details, and I don't know about the pitch. But maybe it could use a little more "dirt" ? It could be subtle, just some noise effects in the roughness and metallic maps?

Complete the texturing and import into your renderer and apply…
