Almost eight years ago when I first created this portfolio, I asked a co-worker and good friend of mine to tweak a model of an arcade machine I found somewhere in the web to use it here. My request to him was to allow me to set different textures on each side of the arcade easily, one image/material per side. I was naive, and didn't realize that this would mean dozens of materials being alive at the same time in the scene, and eventually consuming all the performance as I added more and more machines.
The model at the left is the old one, comparing with the new one to the right. You can even see the images are much more clear!
For now, only this machine has been replaced, I'll be replacing the rest and adding also the rest of my projects with these new settings.
