Good Cc Making Practices - Blog Posts

Yeah, like, it makes sense when a large boat uses a larger texture, an hourglass that you see for like... 10 seconds.. not so much, if you can encompass details in smaller textures to the point none of them would be lost... better to do that than have 2k Textures for a piece of deco clutter that's gonna be used a lot but barely occupies the space of a slot

I was curious and decided to summarily investigate the base game's heaviest textures.

Most are 1024x1024. However, the urn sculpture is 512x2048:

Also, the Grim Reaper's hourglass' texture is uselessly big:

His ass is not respecting "texture size roughly matching the size of the object on the screen" !! lol

Edit: I initially did not look at EPs. PineappleForest pointed out the Bon Voyage pirate ship uses two 2k textures. Looking through EP files, I also found three for the Freetime basketball courts. Considering the sizes of these objects, a fair use.

(In general I find that the textures from later EPs are better in general 🤔 like you don't see the flat floodfilling you have in some base game textures.)
