A gallery of failures! and a write-up on this term

I am essentially confirming to have reached a dead end with my separated mesh idea! So I used the auto mesh decimation tools and made a singular mesh version as well.

Both reconstructions of the data are, well, bad.

Here is the separated mesh in Unity


And here is the single decimated mesh in Unity

Following the Unity Documentation

My goal is to bring everything into Unity and experiment with the data in a game rendering environment. According to my notes these are my next steps:

• Export high res mesh, lo res unwrapped mesh, and re-projected color map out of Zephyr
• Use something to bake mesh maps (Substance, xNormal) 
• De-light the color map (Unity plugin, Photoshop, both)
• If applicable, develop tileable maps for custom material**
• Bring all into game engine

I keep getting stuck on little details within the process. Export settings, incompatible file formats, etc. But I have a bit of a mental block to get over as well.
