Hi! need some help

Anitlunia

So I'm new in this on 3D. So I'm making an environment for a game in UE4. I'm modelling first a train in the inside but I need some help:

• How can I make round courners with inset with an inside edge?
• Hoy do I texturize this for a good ingame looking?
• Hoy many amount of polys do you recommend me for this?

These are the windows of the train


Problem here:



Desired effect:


I've search the internet with no clear answers, someone can help me?

The polys are now in 283 in one side and the other side is symmetrical so it would be 566 polys without adding the roof the seats and other detailed things.

The texturing question is it's own cat in the bag. We'll get to that later.

Look for something that Bevels, or something similar to that in Max. That should give you the divisions while also giving you rounded corners.

Polycount is up to you. The honest question yo need to ask yourself is "How is a player character going to see what I am building?" First person? Third Person? This should determine how many polys you add here or there. What are the focal points? What's more important? If you can answer those questions with a rough fidelity guess, than you've done your job as a game artist, and not just someone who's making pretty things.

Okey thank you for your advices, I should get texturing later haha. Another question, do you recommend me model and animate in Maya for UE4? Or should I stick to 3ds max? Give me opinions please (sorry if I'm sooo new on these things ^^)
