🟡Create Smooth Angled Lines
When to Turn Your Model Into a Rig
You can build a simple entity in the modeler, but the design uses diagonal lines you may want to create a rig in the Animator instead to:
Optimize performance during play
Improve the appearance by removing distracting jagged edges
Create a tighter collision boundary for parts of your design so players can approach
In the example below, the jagged purple model has 240 faces and a collision boundary of 40x40x1, while the smooth green model that is linked to a rotated node in the Animator only has 6 nodes and a collision boundary of 50x1x1.
