Spring 2025 | Character Asset Swap: Optimization & Textures

[Professor Garcia]

For this submission, you’ll present both the optimized 3D model and its final textures, demonstrating a fully production-ready asset. The Optimization stage should reduce the polycount efficiently while maintaining key details and ensuring clean edge loops for deformation. Ensure you have well-considered UV layouts within minimal stretching and accurate texel density. Your textures should enhance the model with detailed material definitions and well-executed use of all maps. Pay attention to material wear, realistic or stylized finishes, hand-painted details, roughness variations, etc. - all being derived from y'all's comparables to guide your artistic and technical decisions.

Final Deliverables:

• Optimized asset file (low poly)
  • Source file - .ma, .mb, or .fbx
    • SK_AssetName.fbx/.ma/.mb
  • Provide the final Polycount in your post
• Screenshots showing various angles
  • Wireframes images - consolidated turnaround images
    • AssetName_Wires_001.png
    • AssetName_Wires_002.png
    • etc.
• UV layout screenshots
  • Looking for seams, packing, and density considerations
    • AssetName_UV_001.png
    • etc.
• Substance Painter file
  • Source file - .spp
    • SK_AssetName.spp
• Screenshots showing various angles
  • Substance painter images - consolidated turnaround images
    • AssetName_Textures_001.png
    • AssetName_Textures_002.png
    • etc.
• Final exported texture maps
  • T_AssetName_A.png/.tga
  • T_AssetName_N.png/.tga
  • T_AssetName_ORM.png/.tga
  • etc.
