Analyzing concept art for texture possibilities

In this video I'll analyze concept art for possibilities in texture.…What I've done is taken my gas station reference imagery and drawn out in blue…on a new layer some of the major mesh lines: the doors, the overhang, the…windows, and so forth.…And I've done this on another image of it as well.…So we can see on at least the three visible sides I have in these images, where…those major mesh lines are.…What I've also started to do--and I'll zoom in on the windows here to show it…better--is to mark out places where I might have one texture that's repeated…over several polygons.…

One of the things we're seeing in games is that although poly count still matters…how you use your texture space matters even more.…Ideally, I should be able to pull off this building in one texture atlas or…texture sheet, where it's not a complete unwrap of the building, but rather…different parts on the texture sheet that are mapped onto different polygons and…reused by stacking UVs.…What I'll do then on this building is, in a different color, shade in areas where…
