Turn a scan into a game asset

A heavy scanned dragon becomes a light model that still looks detailed.

  1. Remesh the scan down to about 5,000 clean quads.
  2. Unwrap it, then straighten, stack and pack the islands.
  3. Bake the scan's detail back onto it.

Unwrap a sleeve

Seams where you want them, no stretch, packed tight.

  1. Pick edges and mark seams, then unwrap.
  2. Show stretch, and relax the islands that need it.
  3. Pin the corners that must stay, stitch, and pack.

Bake a statue for a game

All the sculpted detail, on a model a game can afford.

  1. Pick the high sculpt and the light model.
  2. Bake normal, occlusion and curvature maps.
  3. Wire the maps into the material.

Take a stool from bare to painted

Unwrap, pack, bake and start painting, all from one menu.

  1. Unwrap the stool from the viewport menu.
  2. Pack and bake.
  3. Start painting on it straight away.
