Re: Early-Late 2000s CGI/Game textures
Coming back to this, I had a thought about metal and roughness maps. How were those baked in softwares like Maya and 3DS Max? To my knowledge, there is no option to bake those kinds of maps, even today. -

Also, since the human body is (mostly) symmetrical, a three-quarter or similar view should give you all the points in space as far as visible in that one image. Any point on one half alone could be anywhere in space between the observer and infinity, but the symmetrical equivalent locks it in. Comes with the same caveats… -

There's nothing special about albedo, roughness, metallic and the majority of other maps, so just plug your metallic into an emission node or directly into the material output and it'll bake fine. You can also use plugins like ucupaint to make the baking process…
