For a first person game with modern graphics you probably would bevel an asset like that, especially if you expect players to walk up to them. With normal maps you generally don't need to bevel assets if it wont have a noticeable effect on the silhouette, and for a 3rd person or top down game (or something more stylized)…
This is a watch for the character I'm currently working on Smooth shaded Weighted normals Wireframe of tris. Had to add this bevel because my lowpoly couldn't catch the bevels in that area even after I manually adjusted the cage in blender UVs Normal map(smooth shaded)
Hello Joopson, Thank you for your input. I apologize for any confusion, but I'm not entirely sure if I understood your suggestion correctly.

This technique requires that you control the mesh normals to suit your texture. The technique in sunset overdrive pdf that everyone got excited about works because there aren't bevels and you can just generate your normal map flat. To make it work with bevelled edges you have to either force your mesh normals to act like…

Is the name important because you were wanting to find the right tool to help make it?
