Re: Hand Painted texture skills
Just to try and answer your question, it's because assets created in the MMO-type of hand-painted stuff are diffuse-heavy. Meaning, the asset and the artist relies on the diffuse map to convey what the material is. The assets you're talking about, like those that Naughty Dog does, rely on the shader to convey what the… -
