Environment Sculpting
Environment sculpting is the process of creating a high-resolution 3D model with a series of painting strokes, using. Usually the details from these models are baked into a NormalMap for a lower-resolution in-game model.
Sculpting Tiled Maps
Sculpting techniques for creating tilable normal maps and displacement maps.
