500 separate 4k textures patches for a character covered in fur is excessively wasteful. Things like 3 4k subsurface maps on 500 patches maps on a black skinned creature that is mostly covered by fur is grossly unnecessary no matter who tells you it's needed.
We both know that stuff isn't showing up on film and that the excess becomes a CYA case of the emperor's new clothes where no one wants to be the one to say it's ridiculous.
> When working the artist uses 6 paint layers for each channel ( 6 is a massive underestimate for most interesting texture work).
This is intermediary and not what is being talked about.
