Tiivistelmä
The subject of this thesis is graphic optimisation for 3D mobile games within the context of the rapidly expanding global game market. Specifically, the research focuses on gradient texturing technique. The main purpose of this thesis is to present fundamental knowledge of gradient texturing and provide a comprehensive guide to 3D texture optimization for mobile games.
While the theoretical section covers graphic optimisation challenges and the fundamental principles of texturing, a practical project was conducted to provide a workflow that integrates 3D modelling and gradient texturing. By applying the-ory to the project, the study supported the effectiveness of the gradient texturing method in optimising performance for low-poly assets in 3D mobile games.
Using a holistic approach that combines theory and practice, this thesis provides objective insight into gradient texturing. Additionally, the study suggested that this approach offers a viable and cost-effective solution for students, artists, and mobile game developers to enhance video game performance on mobile devices.
