Preparing the Scene

In architectural visualization (Archviz), a proper modeling phase is crucial for achieving great results during the rendering step. To achieve the best results for real-time rendering in Unreal Engine 5, you must adopt a slightly different approach than for traditional offline rendering engines. For these, in fact, high-poly models with photorealistic lighting are crucial: they can handle almost anything and unwrapping are less important. In fact, the renderer can handle almost anything and still produce good results. In contrast, Unreal requires following certain guidelines to ensure accurate lighting and optimal performance.

This chapter will provide best practices for obtaining accurate models for Archviz in UE5, taking ...
