Understanding Texture Maps - Shader Graph Basics - Episode 5

In this beginner tutorial, we go over texture mapping. I walk you through the high level workflow for creating textures and getting them into the engine. I also go over the factors that control the size of textures in memory and how to control the amount of memory to get the right balance between quality and memory usage in both Unreal 5 and Unity.
