Axe Asset – Basic Documentation

Overview
This asset includes both low-poly and high-poly versions of a stylized axe, created using a standard high-to-low baking workflow. It is optimized for real-time use while retaining high-quality detail through baked textures.

Geometry

• Low-poly model: 724 vertices (game-ready, optimized)

• High-poly model: 1,156,276 vertices (sculpted source for baking and high-detail renders)

Included Files

• Low-poly model (game-ready)

• High-poly model (source/baking)

• PBR texture set:

  • Base Color (Albedo)

  • Normal

  • Roughness

  • Metallic

  • Displacement

  • Emission

Usage
Import the low-poly model into your project and apply the included textures using a PBR-compatible shader. The asset works with common workflows in Blender, Unreal Engine, Unity, and other modern rendering engines.

For best results:

• Use a Principled BSDF shader (or equivalent)

• Plug each texture into its corresponding input

• Set Normal map to Non-Color Data

• Use displacement in supported renderers (Cycles, etc.)

Notes

• The low-poly model is optimized for real-time applications

• The high-poly model is intended for baking or close-up renders

• Displacement may require subdivision for full effect in offline rendering

• Emission map is optional and scene-dependent

Compatibility
Compatible with most 3D software and game engines supporting PBR workflows.

Requirements
A renderer or engine that supports physically based rendering (PBR).
