Environment Sculpting

Environment sculpting is the process of creating a high-resolution 3D model with a series of painting strokes, using a pressure-sensitive tablet or screen. Usually the details from these models are baked into a NormalMap for a lower-resolution in-game model.

Tiled Sculpting

Sculpting in order to create a tiling NormalMap or DisplacementMap texture.
