Understanding UE5 and workflow
Ive been using UE4 for some years now and just about to start a new project in UE5. The one thing Im confused about is people say "take models right from ZBrush into UE5" - but what about the whole texturing step? Am I really UVing a 2 million polygon mesh from ZBrush and texturing it in Substance? I guess Im just confused… -
Re: Understanding UE5 and workflow
I imagine the objective of the showcase/advertising projects from Epic Games is to push the extreme, not to create a shipping game. For a UE5 project you can create assets pretty much the same as you would for a UE4 project. For your own projects, I would ensure good performance when creating the content by setting the… -

@poopipe thanks for the answer. still a bit confused as to when to use nanite or not? and when using nanite, am I just texturing a higher poly decimated mesh that allows me to forego a normal map? -

thats a good question 😆 was wondering bout that too -
Re: Understanding UE5 and workflow
nanite is good for these reasons 1: it instances extremely efficiently 2: geometry render cost is far more closely tied to screen resolution than the amount of geometry in the model. This means you don't need lods and you don't have to optimise to the degree you would when making a mesh for a conventional system. You can…
