I want people to really understand that making game assets (real time assets) require a special set of skills to make things run fast and within tight constraints.
It isn't basic 3D skills. It is actually a discipline in and of itself.
This prop is a TV prop. Not a game one.

This is especially important to hear if you think modern engines that have advanced mesh compression techniques somehow save you from having to care about this stuff.
If this TV was an intractable object it needs to work with the highlight shader, or take damage decals.

Here is a thread on some stuff most commonly fucked up.

Most professional games ship with some unoptimised stuff.
One job I did was to see if we could fit a major AAA game onto a switch.
Turns out we could, because the assets were so blown out that I could optimise most fully kitted out characters to a tiny fraction.

The switch version was cancelled before it went into production. But it left me thinking that I could have done a pass on the shipped game over a few months and freed up so much power they could have cranked up draw distance, effects and added lots more detail to lacking things.
Anyway, it's a skilled job folks.
