Re: Losing Your Artistic Voice to Convenient Asset Packs
The main drawback of asset packs and material libraries is that they cover too small square area like 2x2 m and designed for tiny texel size. Those materials are just flat snapshots, no way to change details distribution or re-composite easily . Also you lose a way to do any conscious art selection what key things to show… -
