π΄[Store, Membership, and Socials]π΄ https://linktr.ee/arghanionprime Quick question β what resolution are your textures right now? If you pulled them from Megascans or a marketplace pack and never touched it, they're probably all 4K. And most of that resolution is doing nothing but eating video memory. This is the last video in Module 2, and it's about right-sizing everything: how big your textures actually need to be, and how to cut a whole project down in about two minutes without anyone noticing. What's covered: - Why resolution is a MEMORY cost, not an instruction cost (the most-confused point in the topic) - The square rule: every step down is 4Γ less VRAM β so 1K β 4K is ~16Γ, not 4Γ - How to tell which surfaces actually need 4K (hint: it's about how close the camera gets) - Downscaling a whole project in bulk, non-destructively, with the Property Matrix - Author at 4K, ship at 2K β and promote hero surfaces back only when they earn it - How right-sizing clears texture streaming pool pressure and kills pop-in Pull one texture down a step and you free three-quarters of its memory β on detail the player was never close enough to see. πPatreon https://www.patreon.com/c/arghanionspuzzlebox πNextLevelGameArt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUeOo5ESftc&t=953s βββββββββββββββββββββββ π SURFACE FORGE βββββββββββββββββββββββ Get Surface Forge on Fab: https://www.fab.com/listings/9d27e228-5ee3-4bb5-a4a2-87ba386cb53a πDiscord Support: https://discord.gg/tyKJYwnutr βββββββββββββββββββββββ πΊ MODULE 2 β WORKING WITH TEXTURES βββββββββββββββββββββββ βΊ Video 5 β Importing Textures: What to Check and Why: https://youtu.be/2E0vHHnS_qY βΊ Video 6 β Building Texture Packs: ORD, ORM & Packed Displacement: https://youtu.be/Tm8YsnPniIw βΊ Video 7 β Texture Resolution & Downscaling (you are here) Next up β Module 3, Layering & Blending: [LINK when live] Full playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3h9_2VztKEGUaAZhacBoBLiK0Xh8FL86 π’You want to Support the Channel and get AWESOME Assets?
