Smoothness (specularity): Surfaces like lenses, glass, or polished metal have high spec which appears white on the map.Normal: To stay within triangle limitations it is good to find areas of your helmet that can use normal map detail.Diffuse (Color): Assign the UVs to any area of the texture sheet except for the areas marked in bright red.We may enhance your submission with any appropriate additional maps to make sure it works best in game. Below you will see other maps that are used by the art team. To make item creation as accessible as possible, we will only be providing you with two maps - a Diffuse (Color) Map and a Normal Map - to work from. You are allowed a maximum of 6000 triangles for a single helmet. Please do your best to maintain quads and edge loops in the mesh, in case we have to make any revisions.Pay attention to how light bounces off the fine details, like bevels and creases. The silhouette should look interesting from a distance, and up close. The shape of the helmet should stand out.See style guide section above for more details. To improve your chances of being selected into the Marketplace, be sure what you create fits into the PlanetSide 2 universe.

We only need the model from you, so do what works best. Once you're happy with a sketch, refine it by adding cool design elements and details that will make your model stand out from the rest! Concepting is an iterative process but can save you time in the long run. We recommend starting with a few sketches, until you find something you're happy with. Coming up with an idea is one of the most challenging parts of asset creation.Make sure that no unintended part of the head protrudes through the helmet. DGC will supply the base textures along with a base head for reference.
