Each stage of game animation <\/strong><\/a>pipeline, from concept to polish, hands something specific to the next one<\/p>\n Simpler assets compress hard. A hero character with facial animation blows past these figures.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all” el_id=”row_03″ css=”.vc_custom_1785520466516{background-color: #19042D !important;border-radius: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” font_color=”#FFFFFF” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”7\/12″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” content_layout=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInUp” css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n Nothing starts in three dimensions. A concept pass settles silhouette, proportion, and mood, then resolves into an orthographic sheet: front, side, back, top, with heights matching across all four.<\/span><\/p>\n Height matching sounds like housekeeping. It is the most common source of pain three stages later. A modeller working from views that disagree builds a mesh that disagrees with itself, and you find out during rigging when the arms refuse to align to the skeleton. The design sequence behind this, from brief through expression sheet, is covered in the guide to the character design process.<\/span><\/p>\n Rest pose gets decided here too. A-pose or T-pose changes shoulder weighting for the character\u2019s entire life. Switch it after skinning, and someone repaints every weight.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all” el_id=”row_06″][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInUp” css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n A blockout is a rough proxy at real-world scale, measured against the orthographic sheet. Its only job is catching proportion errors while they cost hours.<\/span><\/p>\n The high-res sculpt then adds form and surface detail with no polycount ceiling, which is why source meshes hit tens of millions of triangles. None of it ships. It exists to be baked.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all” el_id=”row_06″][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInUp” css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n Retopology rebuilds the sculpt as a clean, mostly quad mesh with edge loops placed deliberately around everything that bends: eyes, mouth, shoulders, elbows, hips, knees. Those loops decide if a joint bends cleanly or folds in on itself. The documented hummingbird example dropped 1,952,386 triangles to 17,328 faces at 99.7 percent quads, roughly fifty-six times lighter.<\/span><\/p>\n Baking transfers sculpt detail onto that mesh as a normal map. Name the high and low meshes correctly, use a cage, and confirm both share a scale. Half a percent of drift is the working tolerance.<\/span><\/p>\n UV mapping hides seams under the belly and inside the limbs where nobody looks. Texturing paints base color, normal, roughness, metallic, ambient occlusion, and height. Color space assignment trips teams up here: base color is sRGB, everything else is non-color data. Get it backwards, and the material looks right in Substance and wrong in engine.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all” el_id=”row_06″][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInUp” css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n Game rigging builds the controls an animator will drive: deformation skeleton, control objects, constraints, and usually some custom tooling for whatever this character does that others do not.<\/span><\/p>\n Skinning paints bone influence per vertex.
