should I model assets the same as i would for animation in ue4

TheEndOfReason · Nov 2017

I'm modeling a scene in ue4 and I'm confused on the workflow for the assets. Should I model the assets in smooth and unsmoothed moded or should I model them so that they look good in one of the two? I usually model for animation and I'm confused whether it is different for games

What do you mean by smooth and unsmoothed? Do you mean subdivided?

You can use soft/hard normals to achieve smooth result + normal map later on

@Brian "Panda" Choi yes that's what I mean

Naw, you don't need to subdivide stuff. You can if you want.
