Guys, how would you go about unwrapping, sculpting and baking something like this?
This is a fence made out of individual bricks and are all attached together. I think if I unwrap them on one UV map, the normal maps and textures will be of lower quality. Should I create one UV with many shells for this fence, and sculpt all the bricks and then bake? Or should I sculpt, unwrap one brick, assign the same… -

Looking for a post or blog about game environment construction notes by a studio
Google is letting me down, and I don't have this in my bookmarks, so I hope I can ask the community for help. Some racing game studio (Forza??) had a write-up on their production workflow, and they discussed things like taking lots of photos. The games are location based, all I can recall is Berlin. The write-up mentions… -

I have a question regarding UV layout for video game characters as well as cinematic characters.
