Session Name:

Advanced Graphics Summit: Revolutionizing Texture Pipelines: EA's Journey with Texture Sets

Overview:

Art workflows have become increasingly complex, and many areas of the production pipeline have not kept pace. Textures are a prime example, where the days of a single image applied to geometry are well over. We now have intertwined surface maps packed in various channels of multiple textures, causing headaches for all involved. EA Motive and SEED have decided to tackle this problem head-on and will present their learnings developing "Texture Sets" for Dead Space, and more. Texture Sets is a modern rethink of the texture pipeline, bundling sets of related textures together into a single asset, and taking a data-driven and extensible approach to texture authoring, processing, and sampling.
