Texturing

When creating textures and materials for game engines, it is important to keep some things in mind to optimize performance and ensure that everything works as intended.

Texture Size

Use the smallest texture for your object's scale without compromising quality. Always Power of 2 (32x32, 64x64, 128x128, 256x256, 512x512 etc) for compatibility with most game engines..

Texture Format

Use PNG as the primary format; TGA is also supported, especially when using alpha channels for transparency.

Texel Density

Refers to the number of texture pixels per unit of 3D surface it helps minimize stretching and distortion when characters are rigged or in motion.

Texture Naming

Match their mesh objects for easier filtering, organization, and selection within game engines. Proper naming is essential for managing complex projects efficiently.

Main Texture Types

These are some of the most commonly used texture types in most of our collections

_BC = Base color such as Diffuse & Albedo Maps

_NR = Normal Map

_ORM = OcclussionRoughnessMetallic RGB Maps

Unique Texture Types

_EM = Emissive Map

_ID = ID Color Map

_A = Alpha or Opacity Maps

_BM = Bump Maps

_HM = Height Map _HDRI = High Dynamic Range Image Map
