Blender to Unreal Engine - Become a Dungeon Prop Artist - Realizing Instances and Decimation

Higher Ed
In this lesson, we will be using realizing instances to turn geometry nodes into mesh. This will result in a very high polygon count, meaning that we will need to use the decimation modifier in Blender to reduce the polygon count.
