Don't bother with that! Pick up a good reference photo or texture, and copy it. It's all in your eye! Great example Suffeli. It's like, an organic texturing 101!
I agree that viewing distance will obviously matter. But I do want the picture to be the highest quality possible. Especially when I'm going to be spending 130 dollars on a print :)
First low poly in UDK. Quite a few baking errors and a big seam. Couple more rebakes and then starting on the texture, wire coming next post! 13k tris:
I have to admit, my first thought was of classes like Martini Sipping 101 and maybe Serial Womanizing as an elective, but I didn't want to be the first to crack the joke....
