   Got a #art / #gameart / #gamedev kinda question:

   Let's say I have an artist who really likes modelling (and is quite good at it), but tends to get stymized at texturing. Not can't-do, just that isn't their favorite.

   Hit with me aesthetics that are geometry-forward, that either minimize texturing, or favor broad-stroke texturing, or at least less focused texturing (so hard surfaces/generative akin to trimsheets or noise maps or auto-world-UV-texturing or etc)

   It isn't that she can't learn to do it better, I just feel strongly that you should build around what your team is best at and most enjoys, and I mean. There's no particular reason we gotta shove down the default path here!

     @glassbottommeg For my current pet project I picked something similar to what you can see in the videos in this profile: https://www.youtube.com/@BlueTurtle
     The main reason is it's a pet project and I wanted to be able to ask someone to draw a decent amount of art on a super-tight budget, so it was important for each picture to be doable in a short timespan.
