Basketball Highly Customizable URP & HDRP

Basketball Highly Customizable:

This is a photorealistic basketball whose UVs have been unwrapped in such a strategic way that it is highly customizable, in other words, you can easily create an infinite number of unique and personalized designs yourself, using the “Basketball UV Layout” image as a guide and an image-editing application such as Affinity or GIMP.

You can easily change the colors of all the components and place text along the lines or on the larger sections.

Basketball Textures Normal Map:

I'm including two different normal maps, each in 1K, 2K, and 4K resolutions, so you can flexibly choose whether it's better to make them more detailed for the camera—or maybe that's not very important.

3 Polygon Levels:

To provide even greater versatility in optimizing model detail, this package includes three different levels of polygon detail: “Low Poly,” “Mid Poly,” and “High Poly.” This makes it much more flexible to choose the level of detail you want to display on camera, allowing you to optimize scenes and create more vivid moments.

URP & HDRP:

The package has two main directories: one named “URP” and another named “HDRP.” Each contains a demo scene using its respective rendering pipeline, along with the corresponding materials for each. the URP materials contain a Metallic_Smoothness texture, that is, the Smoothness map was placed in the Alpha channel of the Metallic texture. This optimizes draw calls and leaves the material’s Albedo slot free to easily switch between the 8 sample Albedo textures included. On the other hand, HDRP materials use a Mask Map texture to optimize draw calls as well and free up the material’s Albedo slot, allowing for easy switching between the 8 base Albedo textures I’ve included.

Both root folders, URP and HDRP, also include 3 prefabs and the original model contained in an FBX file.

This makes it very easy to choose which folder you want to download when importing the .unity package into the Unity Editor; that way, you don’t have to download everything, you can choose to download just the URP-ready version or the HDRP version.

Examples:

The package includes 3 sample albedo textures to show you how to create custom textures: one texture features the text “All Stars” along the ball's lines, another has “Star Shapes” along the ball's lines, and the third has “Front” “Back” on the largest parts of the ball to distinguish the different positions. You can take a look at these 3 sample Albedo textures in an image editing application to see how you can create your own.
