Re: Building an environment - Evil Genius hidden forest base
Quick question, are you going to make a high poly for all your assets? It just seems like sometimes it is unnecessary. For example, was it necessary to high poly your barbed wire? I'm sure there are some things that could get away with a simple heightmap generated normal map from Crazybump. -
