this is how you UV things when you're a sweatlord. manual pack, pixel perfect (pixel corner snapped UVs), 1:1 texel density across the asset, basically zero stretching, well utilized layout that's easy to read (you bet I packed that by hand.), uniform distance between islands

Relevant trick - if you rotate the top face by half the degrees per segment and connect all the verts to triangulate it evenly as such, the perceived silhouette will be marginally smoother due to the half offset you've just performed. not great if you want rectangular UVs tho

Azure Midsummer

@millenia3d

11 months

really basic trick but one I see often neglected; if you have bevels, especially ones that don't really affect silhouette greatly, you can step them down in a lot of cases. sometimes you will want to preserve quads (such as for rectangulating UVs) but this is always satisfying

@socalledcharlie lowspec 3d is genuinely one of the coolest art forms. so restrictive yet liberating due to the inherent limitations. forcing one to innovate and develop a unique style. modern stuff just does not hit the same either to the artist or the viewer

First one out of the forced perspective skins I did in 2020, this one uses multiple angles and a shallower design so the effect is subtler but also practically doesn't break even side-on. I think it's my favourite as a result even if it's barely there in areas
