Re: Old graphics.
Fundamentally, polygon modeling hasn't changed much since the SM64 days. Perhaps the thing that caught your eye is the fact that N64 and PC game models back then were either segmented, or continuous but extremely lowpoly. You can find old tutorials by appending "before:2010" to a youtube search.… -
Re: Questions about game-ready asset modeling workflows
Thank you for the advice! I saw a lot of tutorial videos, and they said something like try to limit the shading issues in a small area, then that will be unnoticeable. But most of them are doing concept art or design, so it confused me if it's the same for in-engine assets. -

If you stretch the terrain up too high and you get ugly distorted textures you will want to go with a shader that has "triplanar". Max is pretty limited on this front. There is a small chance you could piece something together using the data channel… -
