Linear vs Realtime Rendering in Maya — Why It Changes Your Modeling Decisions

In this video I explain how linear rendering and realtime rendering influence your modeling decisions in Autodesk Maya. When working in realtime engines (games, VR, interactive media), topology and polygon budgets become critical. But when rendering in a linear offline pipeline (film, VFX, pre-rendered animation), those constraints change dramatically. I walk through how camera distance, rendering method, and topology density affect how you should approach modeling. Understanding this can help you optimize assets for both game engines and cinematic rendering workflows. #Maya #3DModeling #GameDev #Topology #Rendering #3DArt ========================================== Don't forget to check out my friends at vrbn studios !
