What this service covers

I inspect the mesh, UVs, naming, and bake requirements before painting. Material references, age, wear, manufacturing method, texel density, and target resolution are agreed so the surface treatment supports the asset rather than adding random detail.

The work can include mesh-map baking, material separation, hand-painted masks, decals, controlled wear, and reusable layers. Exports are configured for the specified metallic-roughness, specular-glossiness, or custom channel workflow.

Clean source geometry and usable UVs are prerequisites. Mesh repair, UV work, high-to-low baking fixes, paid materials, and engine shader setup are separate unless included in the package.

How the project works

  1. 01

    Scope

    We define the objective, deliverables, dependencies, and success criteria before production starts.

  2. 02

    Build

    You review working previews, so decisions are made against tangible output.

  3. 03

    Refine

    The agreed revision rounds are used to complete details within scope.

  4. 04

    Handover

    I deliver the agreed files, access, and practical usage notes in an organized package.

Frequently asked questions

Which texture maps will I receive?

The export preset is matched to your renderer or engine. Typical outputs include base color, normal, roughness, metallic, ambient occlusion, and any agreed opacity or emissive maps.

Can you texture a model made by someone else?

Yes, after a preflight. Poor UVs, overlapping shells, broken normals, or an unsuitable bake cage may need correction before texturing can begin.

Will the textures look identical in every program?

No. Color management, lighting, shaders, normal orientation, and channel conventions vary. I configure and test against the target named in the brief.

Unity 3D Asset Preparation

Unity 3D asset preparation converts approved models into correctly scaled, organized, and tested prefabs for a specified Unity render pipeline and version.

Unreal Engine Asset Preparation

Unreal Engine asset preparation turns approved models into correctly configured assets for a specified engine version, platform target, and rendering workflow.

GLB and FBX File Conversion

GLB and FBX conversion translates a usable source asset into the requested format while checking geometry, materials, textures, scale, and animation support.

STL Model Preparation

STL model preparation repairs and validates an existing mesh for the scale, wall thickness, tolerances, and downstream process you specify.

3D Print Model Preparation

3D print model preparation adapts an approved mesh to the build volume, material, process, assembly method, and tolerances of your intended printer.

UV Mapping

UV mapping unwraps an approved 3D model into a clean texture layout with seams, scale, padding, and tile strategy matched to its intended use.
