A normalmap of detail that you have to sculpt, projected onto a mesh that you have to manually retopologize unwrap, rig and animate, at level of detail that you have to commit to for the rest of the assets that you are clearly making.

Do you think anyone cares about seeing accurately baked pimples and acne scars on a character mesh in an indie game? Do you think anything beyond a lowpoly and/or cartoon artstyle is sustainable for a solodev who is making his own assets and not buying them? That just seems like naive beginner thinking to me.

I think its more sustainable to streamline the 3d art process as much as possible
