How to make the asset game ready?

Peppek1993

Hey guys, so far everything I've done was purely for show and to learn modeling/texturing so I didn't need to import it into any specific game engine etc. and now I'm helping creating assets for a mobile game and I have no clue how to further my workflow.

I have my low poly model, textured it in substance painter and exported my maps so all I have is low poly FBX model and texture maps for it. What next?

How do I import it to ue4? (I've actually tried importing it and it looks fine but I have no idea how to apply my texture maps to it). And when I need to send it over, what do I send? .fbx file and all textures?

This is extrmely basic stuff, mate. There are a ton of 'how to import model to UE4' on youtube. Same with importing and applying textures/materials.

If I were you I'd do some research on the basics of UE4 first to familiarise yourself with the UI.

Once you have the basics and can import your static mesh, create a material, apply it to your mesh, and add maps to the material channels, then you can look into LODs and channel packing.

Read over the UE4 documentation. It's all laid out very clearly.
