Blender and UDK

TonyNowak

I use Blender. I love Blender. For personal exploration and building a portfolio, I got UDK. Now, I model things in Blender and should I just model them, texture them, and import them without a high-poly base to bake from.

I find that is usually garners nice results, and I think with enough texture work a model fresh from Blender can too. What do you guys think?

kinda a per model thing, per situation thing, really just find the workflow that works for you and gets you results suitable for a portfolio.

you should know how to work both ways, and even be able to work with modular texture and trim sheets

It's just I have trouble working with ZBrush, but I still want to achieve nice results.

Try mudbox instead? a lot of people have problems learning Zbrush as it has a complicated interface.

But you absolutely need to be able to bake from highpoly models to work in the games industry today.
