I made some tests, and the results with 4k texture aren't crispy enough. I have seen a lot of renders in Artstation with 4k textures with a very high res result, Why my renders only achieve this kind of details with 8k textures? The texel density is around 19px/cm. Still, I would like to say that after testing, If I double…
Thanks for your help ! The viking was only an example, I think I have been misunderstanding the term "game ready" all this time. Actually my ultimate goal is to make something like this. But instead of a character from an animated movie, to prepare it to be optimal for video games. And I thought that the level of detail…
Hi! Could give a higher density to elements that get up close to the camera and use detail textures. Could look for sample projects and check how they're setup. Is it a game character?
I think this changes the framing of the topic/question quite a bit. Now that we know that you are *not* going for what people would usually think of when mentionning a "game character" (for instance : a hypothetical Fortnite version of Hiccup, which would involve geometry perfectly crafted for that purpose, and say two…
Of course, for example "https://www.artstation.com/artwork/B34gJ9". As you can see, the level of detail is pretty damn good, while mine using also 4k textures is not that detailed. Right now the uvs are like this, with a uniform texel density of 20 px/cm and more padding in between uvs shells to avoid bleeding.
First things to consider are. What do you see of that character at any given time? Usually a character in most games doest have a super even texel density, unless they are always seen at the same distance. Meaning, in a fps game you will likely have lower arms and hands at significantly more texture resolution than the…
yeah again, this isnt a game model. as in, a model from an actual game.if you wanna go for this, go for this. could this be in a game? yeah probably. but i suggest you look at actual content from actual games. but if you look at this one closely, you'll notice that the texture resolution isnt crazy imensely high and a lot…
Hi! Out of curiosity, can you link to one of those characters with high resolution textures you're refering to? If the goal is to create a game character, I would rather look at actual game assets for reference. In both Unity Store and Unreal Marketplace, you should be able find sample projects. Can use those to learn from…
IMO too hi res textures sometimes rather reveal artificial procedural noises people do them with . What looked like a proper hint to certain material features in lower resolution became overdone and obviously Substance Painter noises and scratches , often lots of redundant details that only spoils the impression. It's like…
Alright so knowing that this is the reference (and setting aside the term "game-ready") which in this case is only making things confusing, I'll mention the following in addition to the above comment on perceived density : This Viking character works because all the various elements have been very carefully designed ; and…
