Cinema 4d/Cineversity R24 and Unity 2021

[Lavievita]

Hi all,

I’m new to Unity and have 3 questions after having explored en tried C4D file using Cineversity in Unity.
I’m using C4D R24.

(I’m building a Art Galery and outdoor atelier with walkthrough) My questions:

*Do I have to bake textures/materials in C4D before using it in Unity? ( I’ve found contradictions in forums so to be sure I want to ask them here.)

*Is it true that I don’t have to bother about lighting set up in C4D? and that I can arrange that in Unity?

*Is there a limit in polygons? because I’m building the exact atelier/galery and vegetation of the artist and his materials… want to make a virtual exhibition but also want to give the user a walk in the area and see/feel the ambiance of the artist his working place…

I hope you can help me out! Unity support redirected me to this forum.

Warm grateful greetings,

Do I have to bake textures/materials in C4D before using it in Unity?

I’ve never seen any modelling software able to export materials in a way Unity can import (except if the materials are made using Substance), so I would advise you don’t “waste” time in C4D and handle the materials in Unity itself.

Is it true that I don’t have to bother about lighting set up in C4D? and that I can arrange that in Unity?

Same as above. The rendering engine used by the modelling software is most likely different from the one used by Unity so I would focus on the lighting in Unity. You’ll never manage to have the exact same ligthting in Unity compared to the one you can have in C4D.

Is there a limit in polygons?

The only limit is what your users’ computer can support.
