Quake 2 Skinning Model circa 1500 polys Skin 512x512 Diffuse Model

Quake 3 Skinning Different Parts Different Skins Biggest parts 1024x1024 Diffuse and sometimes FX Model circa 2500 Polys

Quake 4 Skinning Skin 2048x2048 Diffuse Normal Specular and FX Skins made from Models Very hard to Modify A lot of Learning Involved Technical Artists Here’s Why…..

Low resolution – No Texture 3d Studio Max (Maya etc) Polygon Modelling

Low resolution – Wireframe

Texture Template

Diffuse from Template

Low resolution – Diffuse Texture

High resolution – Diffuse Texture

Bump from Diffuse

High resolution – Bump Texture

Displacement from Z-Brush

High resolution – Bump and Displacement Texture

High resolution – All Together

Normal Map from Bump and Displacement (Can be from high Res and Bump)

Specular Map- Shiny is White Dull is Black- Generally worked off the rest
