Question: How much do crappy wireframes actually matter? From a performance pov I've imported ridiculous meshes not intended for games into unreal. It worked.

I can see this being ok for anything other than triple A games right?
- wg0 2y agoThey matter as much as good quality code matters. Even more so actually.
- vunderba 2y agoThree things: 1. Unless we're strictly talking about static meshes (such as for scenery), building out the rigging/animation for garbage topologies is going to be absolute hell. 2. Your performance POV was for ONE mesh, but if your quad/triangle count is 10x higher than it needs to be, how well is it going to scale particularly on low-end gaming platforms? 3. Lighting/shadows/reflections can produce some pretty UGLY effects when your surface polygons are a mess.
