i watched all your videos for trim sheets. I appreciate these videos because i am in art school and my professor didnt show me in depth how to create a trim sheet for UV mapping. I didnt use the program that you used for modeling but it was easy to understand and just worked in Maya

I recently found this channel and I'm new to 3D game dev. I learned so much more from your channel than other things I've found and tried to do for the past 10 years as a 2D hobby game maker. I watched every video and loved everything I've learned from you. I can only hope to see more content in your channel in the future and I would love to be the excuse you use to continue. Thank you for everything, it's amazing and so much useful info.

@@ImanPanahi I would figure out what part of game art or art you are most passionate about, either characters, environments, lighitng, vfx like explosions etc and then focus on learning how to make that stuff. start with some basic tutorials on youtube based around that subject matter. blender is free and great for learning as there are a ton of free tutorials on it. software seems like it matters when you are starting but really they are just tools used to create an outcome. there are many ways to do it and picking one and moving forward is way more effective than worrying about having made the perfect software choice :) maybe start making a level in unreal with some of the free assets and stuff available on marketplace like megascans to get a quick feel for building in 3d and take it from there :) good luck and thanks for watching!

I know that May sounds weird for you but personally wean make level's for my game i use the old approch The approach i was talking are the following wean make object like building wall's ect instead of making each Wall as assets and after i just use in editor tools on the game engine im using in that case unit pro builder And the wall is as big or small as want to and im able to modift the size off those House boxes ect inside the game engine. One other thing that i haven't seen many people to do the way i make those level in the first place For some reason wean make house the add each wall sepert object i personally wean i made just made the wail home as model in that way the have less polygons

I have only recently heard about the concept of Trim Sheets and this is mind blowing. I am very much self taught and do the whole beginner thing of unique unwrapping everything I do, sometimes sharing a UV map across several things that may not need too much detail. This will be a game changer. I can't wait to play with that.

I HAVE A VERY BIG QUESTION FOR YOU! so you used lots of polygons in order to use your trim sheet , does that really worth it?! what's the costs and benefits?
@PolygonAcademy 2 ай бұрын
yea good question :) these days polygons are pretty much the cheapest thing you can use for games, not even including nanite in the equation. the biggest cost is usually texture memory, so if you can make an entire kit with 1-3 materials using tiling/trims the tradeoff is definitley worth it. I would say nowdays the examples in the video are actually pretty low poly compared to the last couple games I worked on for current gen stuff. so dont be afraid to use more geometry if it saves you having to have a bunch of unique unwraped/baked objects, in the end the tradeoff is worth it, especially if you give your objects LODS so it cuts the polycount in half at a distance :) hope this answers your question! thanks for watching

@bovineox1111 6 ай бұрын
My question would be, about how much texel density comes into play when modeling, as clearly the trim sheet will have correct density for given dimensions, for circular strips there will be some acceptable warping, but I guess the better an edge or strip matches the density set out in the trim sheet, then the better the texturing on the model?
@PolygonAcademy 6 ай бұрын
Yea it definitley can impact your modeling, 10-20% wiggle room isnt very noticable so its not super rigid but for more complex/custom assets you can design trim sheets with different thicknesses that work better, and then combine it with 4 way tiling materials for larger surfaces where trims dont work. Like a wood planks trim sheet for detailing and a tiling wood texture to fill in other areas. With nanite you could also use the trim sheet to displace all the details and then texture the model with more basic tiling materials + texture masks for stuff like grime, damage/ scrapes etc because the displaced geo will be providing the details and that doesnt impact texel density
@bovineox1111 6 ай бұрын
@@PolygonAcademy thanks for the detailed reply. Long time, part time indie dev, currently targeting VR so draw calls, bandwidth are priorities and nanite not some I can afford, but useful to hear that 10-20% margin is not so noticeable. I think I will plan to build some trims that will cover specific architectural features and then try to model with constraints given by the texel density - ie if I have a tiling row that is optimal at 10cm tall, I’ll try and stick within that. I’m considering some options for grunge/AO/weather etc… that will allow single shader pass and allow for essentially some decals for these kinds of elements but I’ve yet to come up with a good solution…
@bovineox1111 6 ай бұрын
For Blender users, google 'Follow active quads' - essentially, add a seam, unwrap, rotate the unwrapped quads so a central one that is the most square is the right way up; select the left most X verts in the UV and S -> X -> 0, to scale the edge in X to the same X co-ordinate, repeat for the right edge in X and then do the top and bottom edges in Y, you know have aligned verts; swap to face mode, select this face and then hit L to select linked and right click and choose 'Follow active quads' and you'll get a strip you can scale. What is missing in the above is a way to ensure the X and Y edges are the same length, resulting in a square, so I need to check that myself. There also ought to be a plugin for this as I use it a lot :D probably a relax in Blender would achieve that square result. EDIT: I just found this video, with a promising UV Squares addon.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH-UnX-PqMmYjcU yoink

Why do you use relax if you're going to align the vertexes straight anyway? (not a 3dsmax user)
@PolygonAcademy 7 ай бұрын
relax will transform the uvs to the correct proper shape/ratio for the polygon and then you straighten it to average it out, you could skip that step and scale it out but getting it correct by eyeballing it can sometimes be difficult, but use whatever workflow works best for you and can get the results easier, i know a lot of other programs have much better uv tools :) I am just used to doing it this way haha
