Re: Quick question about Smoothing Groups
Yes, I would recommend custom vertex normals for baking normals to any engine that supports them. Whenever there is geometry in the transition between two flat faces on the lowpoly, like a chamfer or a curved surface, like that chamferbox to the right at 6 minutes in the vid: ( https://youtu.be/_kONIPr_gBM?t=362 ), you can… -
High Poly Workflow for Env. Artists
So this is a two parter really. 1. I'm being told by some studios and industry professionals that without high poly, you're useless to any studio doing next gen games.
