Re: Creating Trim Sheets 4 Part Tutorial - Polygon Academy
The question I am asking out of curiousity is when using 2k texture for 4m, what was his target for? Ist person, third person? side scrolling 3d game or he just decided to pick that texel density for the tutorial? Because, if I remember there is some sort of relative texel density standard for these different types of… -

Really thank you for the entire series! This is one of tne most in depth resources on it to exist, aside from Jacob's breakdown. I had a few questions that most people don't really talk about. 1.
