Flow is a good thing to think about when creating appealing shapes for #gameart

Heres a pattern i use all the time when sculpting. Really helps to get appealing shapes.

For games, whats the correct way to smooth the normals for a character? Currently Im using Soften Edges in Maya. Do you do a uniform soften based on the angle or do different areas get a custom angle?

You know how marketing for movies are lying or severely undermining the work of VFX companies? It's because the audience likes when things are 'real'. Imagine a movie being made with AI - the backlash would be 100x more intense than this.

In games, are poles okay or should they generally be avoided? If they are bad, what's the consequence of having them?

The biggest shift I have to get used to so far for the games workflow is that everything is a tri. It's such a different way of working and I'm enjoying it a lot!

Henning Sanden @henning.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

Does anyone have some good examples of clean triangulates topo for game characters compared to bad or messy topo? Basically, what are some good conventions for what to do and not to do?

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

Sure is fine. Game engines only use triangles, and so any quads you have get triangulated on import. This is why you should triangulate before baking normals as your triangle orientation may differ from export to import. With no subdivision, quads are only a tool to select your triangles.

Henning Sanden @henning.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

Is this topo pattern used in games or do you simply turn them into triangles? I used this a lot for film assets, as its clean and all quads
