All about skinning
GFXArtist posted an interview they conducted with graphics artist Kevin "Roshach" Johnstone, one of the most well-known skinners in the world and currently on Legend Entertainment's payroll for creating skins for Unreal 2[BLOCK]GFXartist: Tell me, which dimensions do the skins have these days? Did you have to change your way of working to cope with the increase in detail?
Rorshach: The average is 2 512's with a couple of key characters having 4 512's. I tend to work double size as a rule so making the jump in resolution wasn't so hard for me. Higher polygon counts & facial animation support was a harder jump. In some ways its more restrictive, you can fake less 3d in 2d naturally and you can no longer afford to ignore the mesh.
Another result of this is that its best to focus on material relief much more than purist 3d definition shading such as Q3's skins led the way in. My first couple of characters were a stumbling block as I was still thinking in terms of strong contrast shading which just doesn't work anymore so I've radically changed my style a couple of times since then.
I'd say it's a 2-3 month learning curve for the people with traditional art skills. It's a lot of fun once you get to grips with it and is very rewarding when seen ingame[/BLOCK]
