They paint shading into the texture, same as every handpainted game more or less. You can't rely exclusively on realtime lighting and expect to get good results unless you have an extremely high poly model or you are using normal maps.
Done with the hp in blender, going in zbrush for final details, than lowpoly and bake. @Auldbenkenobi Great Hpoly man! :D @DeviatePanda: Great job on the handpainted texture, but just one thing, isnt the tape that is holding the tank on the "stock" too loose?
mostly crits on the textures. they are basically flat colors, no hue or value shifts, no material definition, things are mostly just colored differently. what style are you going for btw? right now its looks like dota 2 or modern handpainted.
i am not quite sure where your dilemma is, it's not like highpoly models give you any texture, it gives you some info for the texturing but you will still probably either handpaint or photosource your textures over the baked lowpoly

metaphorically sexy fur, literally sexy sejuani haha I'm really digging how well it meshes over the new map! it looks literally like something I might see on the game. Your way of handpainting meshes really well
Yep. Time for a brand new installment of ULTIMATE INSPIRATION!. The plan is we link the most awesome images possible related to the category in the title. I have currently been bit by the handpainting bug (Thanks to an art test i did) and I love it. I know you guys do to. Why shouldn't you? It's tons more fun than awesome…
Latest : Heey guys first post here, always wanted to post a project. So sorry if I make any mistakes. I'm currently working on an environment entirely from scratch, with handpainted textures and stuff. I started with creating the barrels. The texture is quite plain, which I did since there need to be a lot of them in the…
Hello everyone, Been on this site for a year now and always impressed by the great stuff made on here. I was hoping that you could give me some feedback on a set of handpainted swords I made so i could improve. The swords: Wooden Sword (196 tris) & Stone Sword (426 tris) Copper Sword (226 tris) & Silver Sword (446 tris)…
