    I make VRChat avatars and I’ve looked at the models for COD characters and weapons before.

    The sheer amount of material slots on those things is crazy. Like a whole ass material for a tiny texture that’s just like, the walkie talkie on a character. It’s so unessciary and while excess materials isn’t the only reason the game is unoptimized, it’s very telling of how much optimizing they actually do (basically none).

      What? Are they using some special non-PBR effects?

        Nah just don’t like uv unwrapping and mapping properly I’m guessing 💀

          Wouldn’t they do UV unwrapping anyway?

            That’s why I said properly, like they’re not fitting a bunch of things onto one big map, but instead have a bunch of little ones.
