Let's Build the RPG! - 11 - Unreal Engine 5 Modeling Tools Beginner Tutorial

In this episode we use Unreal Engine 5 modeling mode to break apart a static mesh asset of a bridge, allowing us to assign different materials to different parts of the asset. We also use the modeling mode to update the pivot point for all pieces of the mesh. Then we finish putting together the bridge in our scene and sculpt/paint paths in our garden.
