So I see a lot of questions regarding hard surface retopology or low poly for game art and I felt like I might be able to help a bit and explain some things as well as give some simple examples 🧵

Isn't it strange that Game dev is one of the few industries where over time isn't paid at all? If that were to be a thing, leadership would be held accountable for any bad planning and would have to really think about how they structure everything

A little tip here for aspiring prop artists When looking for references if you are doing anything based on real life, remember to get measurements and if you are making guns, try to learn as much as possible about it (Gun anatomy) Here are some examples of what I look for:

@polycount I think it's a solid way of showing things but personally I dont think showing maps is the best way, I prefer to have the views from substance combined with wireframe and UVs, I think it reads better and you can clearly see how it is set up All the kudos to Adam though!
