In this video, Thor gives a brief explanation of the ideal way to create mounts in MMO's. Let's break down the benefits and drawbacks of high-quality models versus high-quality textures, and how they interact with each other:

High-Quality Models
Benefits:

Detailed Geometry: High-quality models offer intricate details and realistic shapes, enhancing the visual fidelity of the asset.

Better Performance: Optimized high-quality models can improve rendering performance by reducing the need for excessive textures.

Versatility: Detailed models can be used across various lighting conditions and environments without losing quality.

Drawbacks:

Increased File Size: High-quality models often have larger file sizes, which can impact loading times and memory usage.

Higher Computational Cost: Rendering high-quality models requires more processing power, which can be a challenge for lower-end devices.

Complexity: Creating and managing high-quality models can be time-consuming and resource-intensive.

High-Quality Textures
Benefits:

Enhanced Realism: High-quality textures add depth, detail, and realism to models, making them look more lifelike.

Improved Visual Appeal: Detailed textures can significantly enhance the visual appeal of an asset, making it more attractive to players.

Flexibility: Textures can be easily swapped or modified without altering the underlying model, allowing for greater creative flexibility.

Drawbacks:

Texture Stretching: Poor UV mapping can lead to texture stretching, which can distort the appearance of the model.

Increased Memory Usage: High-resolution textures consume more memory, which can be a limitation on some devices.

Potential for Overuse: Over-reliance on textures can sometimes mask poor modeling practices, leading to less efficient assets.


High-quality models and textures work best when they complement each other. A well-optimized model with detailed textures can create a highly realistic and visually appealing asset. However, it's essential to balance the level of detail in both models and textures to ensure optimal performance and visual quality. Proper UV mapping and efficient use of textures can enhance the appearance of high-quality models without overburdening the system.

In summary, both high-quality models and textures have their own benefits and drawbacks. The key is to find the right balance that suits the project's needs and target platform.
