Technical Details
Topology Optimization
43,970 faces / 75,778 triangles with clean edge flow and production-appropriate polygon density
UV Layout
8 × 2048 texture sets with efficient packing and minimal stretching across all UV islands
PBR Texturing
Layered material approach in Substance 3D Painter with separate mask groups for maintainability
Key Points
- Clean edge flow with appropriate polygon density for real-time rendering
- 8 × 2048 texture sets (albedo, normal, ORM) with efficient UV packing
- Layered PBR material approach for maintainability and easy updates
- Marmoset Toolbag rendering for high-quality portfolio presentation
