01/29/26(Thu)09:38:31 No.1025103 I want to rebuilt my granmas apartment. I kinda have a floor plan. My goal is a realistic looking scene that I can walk around in first person in VR. What would be the most efficient work flow? I thought of this:
1) 3D modeling the whole apartment in a Blender/Cinema 4D scene. Including all the furniture, etc. I'm a bit faster in C4D so I might use that. Do I have to take care of polygon count or such or doesn't it matter in a private project? I would probably do it quite rough with just cube after cube.
2) Export it all and import into Unreal. From there I add lightning, texture/materials/colors (or is this better done before export?).
3) Run in VR.
Is this a good plan? any suggestions?

Regularly export to unreal as you go and check vr performance

It depends on the platform, 2 millons is a bit high but it should be fine if it's not mobile VR
Keep modeling and optimize towards the end

Alright

Just reached 12 millions, not sure if I should start to be worried that I'm doing something wrong here.

But I get your message, I'm a noob and you wanna make fun of me ending up with millions of polygons in a VR scene :(

How do I shade it? Is it all one smoothing group?
