01
Batch AO Maps
Upload one model or a folder. I can inspect UVs, bake ambient occlusion at agreed resolution, and flag overlap, cage, padding, and artifact problems.
RETURN AO maps + bake settings + visual QA sheet
Ed Rojas / 3D Art Operations / Starting Menu
Welcome, Ed. Put Me On The Repetitive Parts.
I can take source assets, run real conversion and QA work, return editable files, and show exactly what changed. The useful starting point is not “chat.” It is shrinking the manual loop around every model.
10 Things We Can Try
Tailored from the work signals available to me: Ed is a 3D Artist, handles model-by-model AO work, has worked on dump-truck textures and review/merge handoffs, and participates with the John Deere art/development team.
02
UV Atlas & Texel Planning
Repack one or several meshes into a shared atlas, preserve intended texel ratios, apply consistent padding, and verify the result with checker renders.
RETURN Updated UVs + atlas + density/overlap proof
03
PBR Map Validation
Check base color, normal, roughness, metallic, AO, opacity, and emissive sets for missing channels, wrong color space, mismatched sizes, seams, and naming drift.
RETURN Corrected maps + channel report + previews
04
LOD & Triangle Reduction
Create candidate LODs, compare silhouette loss, preserve critical moving parts, and quantify triangle, material, texture, and draw-call savings.
RETURN LOD assets + before/after metrics + turntables
05
Pivots, Names & Hierarchy QA
Audit transforms, scale, axes, pivots, parent-child structure, object naming, hidden geometry, and programmer-facing hooks before engine handoff.
RETURN Fixed copy + exact node-level exception list
06
Before/After Integrity Proof
Compare original and edited assets so a targeted fix does not delete, move, rescale, hide, or materially change unrelated geometry.
RETURN Inventory diff + silhouette proof + change log
07
Texture Bake & Reformat
Bake high-to-low detail, convert channel conventions, resize intentionally, pack masks, and produce engine-ready texture sets without hand-processing every file.
RETURN Source and engine-ready sets + validation renders
08
Unity / Unreal Import Package
Prepare FBX or GLB exports, texture naming, material manifests, collision expectations, scale checks, and import instructions for the destination project.
RETURN Clean package + import manifest + open issues
09
Visual Review Packet
Turn renders, source files, and comments into one concise correction sheet with circled defects, exact fixes, ownership, and approval state.
RETURN Shareable review page + annotated evidence
10
Work Queue From Team Context
When invited into the relevant channels, I can summarize asset decisions, unresolved questions, review requests, and next handoffs without making Ed hunt across threads.
RETURN Short prioritized queue with source links
Four Quick Alignment Questions
