Texture Mapping

At Zygote, we understand the value that an excellent texture map can add to a model. Constraints on the quality of art are placed on development teams by the game engine itself; often resulting in the sacrificing of geometric detail and resolution. While an efficient model can help, at Zygote, we know that texture maps, utilized properly can make all the difference in the world.

The first step is UV-ing the geometry. A model that has UV coordinates carefully applied, efficiently utilizes as much of the map space a possible, leveraging every pixel possible. At Zygote, our artists are experts at texture mapping models so that seams are hidden and stretching is avoided. For years we have worked closely with art directors from many different games delivering textured models that fit each unique game art style. We carefully match color pallets, saturation levels, and pay close attention to detail.

Because texture mapping can be so subjective, we establish and expect a high degree of communication and direction from our clients. Let us show you how we can help you bring your models to life, seamlessly supporting your pipeline with expert texture mapping.
