im currently learning game engines optimizations and substance painter advance texturing, if I manage to make this for a living is because of your channel and courses, Grant. Thanks you so much for all the amazing tutorials you did for the 3D community♡

meh, you don't even need substance painter. A lot of people don't know that. They assume it's some industry standard that they need in order to be good. Not true at all. 💪

@@pineappleparty1624 True to an extent, but Substance Painter is by far the best way of painting textures, there's so much it can do in one program that you ould need multiple other programs to do, which is why it is pretty much industry standard, but yeah you can even paint textures directly inside Blender if you want, it's just harder to achieve the same quality of textures than using a dedicate program like substance painter.

@@Belidos3D I rather use a photo editor and blender instead of having a standard looking substance painter texture. You can almost always tell when someone uses it. Sure it's kind of faster but I hate the results really.

With vertex color you dont need any textures and UVs, but got more color variations include gradients on one model, and its higer perfomance )

@AurynGaming Жыл бұрын

To make scaling your UV for the atlas easy just press 0, this puts all verts on the same pixel. This can also make the colour pallette/atlas much smaller in size (both visually and file size) as you wont need for example 10x10 squares of colour for each. I have yet to have an issue with UVs by pressing 0 to make all vert move to 1 pixel and other low poly youtubers do this too.

@VertexRage Жыл бұрын

Both project from view and scaling to 0 might result in lighting/shading artifacts with static lighting due to issues with lightmaps.

Hey Grant, lovely video as always! I had a question - what is the difference between "Closest" and "Linear" texture interpolation? I read somewhere online that using "Closest" for low poly texturing is better. But I'm fairly new to Blender so I don't know. Which of these options are preferred for game-ready models? Currently I'm having a slight issue with wrong colors on my models when imported into Unreal Engine.

@jishanahamed8592 Жыл бұрын

@@grabbitt I think there will be some problems, and i found on net it could be solved by creating custom lightmap uv, different from the one used for texturing, i think there is also a button in unity while importing, Create LightMap UV's, but idk if it will work!

@jishanahamed8592 Жыл бұрын

@@grabbitt It does, and after going through tonnes of web pages i figured out the solution, so for anyone else facing the same problem. All you have to do is after creating your uv map and following that color palette style, go to the object data properties, under UV Maps, create another UV map and for that do a more accurate unwrapping (i just press "u", then lightmap pack) and you are good to go. when you import the object in unity, unity will automatically recognise that the model has 2 uv maps, so it will take the other uv map when creating the light map. this is the best solution i could find.

I keep hearing about this, import one texture for all of ur models. How is this done/ what does it mean?

@MartKart8 Жыл бұрын

There's a creator called Legend 64 on KZfaq that is making a game in the Nintendo 64 style, and uses one texture for his models, like a tree, the bark and leaves on one. He said it helps the game he's working on run smoothly, stops lagging and the material loads quickly, when he imported into Unreal Engine.

@JordanMatyka Жыл бұрын

The bigger the texture the more memory it will occupy so you want to keep it as small as possible. On the other hand you don't want it to be too small, so the UVs aren't too cramped and the colors aren't bleeding onto other UV islands, as Grant pointed out at 04:30.

Fine in unity. Might possibly be an issue if you have one object that overlaps. So make sure you scale down rather than overlap

Great video. I use colour paletes but wasn't assigning it to colour atlas and just using it as a material and then uvmapping to it and still works. Question...why can't you simply just add the colour to the mesh in blender and simply be done with it. Why do game engines still to this day read them as every face separately. I mean I get the process of UVmapping and know we have to do this so it assigns the whole mesh to One texture and AAA games UVmap everything...just question is...why...why can't game engines define the model as one full texture? Wonder if one day technology will be able to do this and we won't have to uvmap
