Creating Game Assets: Unity vs Unreal Workflows

Game-Ready 3D Assets

Creating optimized 3D models for Unity and Unreal Engine requires specific workflows and optimization techniques.

Unity Workflow

• Export as FBX with embedded textures
• Set up LOD groups for performance
• Configure material properties in Unity
• Optimize collider meshes

Unreal Engine Workflow

• Use Datasmith for best results
• Configure nanite for high-poly models
• Set up material instances
• Implement proper collision

Optimization Tips

Keep polygon counts under control, use texture atlasing, and always test performance on target hardware.
