Wall edge detail

787

What's the preferred method for achieving good wall edge/corner detail now? I was watching some Hitman 2 gameplay and they do a great job with their wall corners.. I was thinking maybe a floating mesh baked from high poly, with color added in the material?

Could be mesh decals too.

Mesh decals are probably the quickest to set up. You could bake multiple strips to a single map and set everything up first in your DCC and export as groups. That way you can arrange many different variations that will be ready to just go straight away, in engine.

The ultimate trim technique is great as well as you can do it on very low geo without the need for extra bevels or supporting shading edges.
