Worth noticing
Its 40k setting produces triangle meshes, and the page advises retopology for hero assets.

Field notes

The described run starts from a prompt or picture and ends with a GLB containing textures, a skeleton, and animation; the page names Godot, Unity, Unreal, and three.js as destinations. Its settings include several triangle-count options, and it describes a separate 3×3 prop-sheet workflow that cuts a sheet into nine game-sized assets with lighter versions for distance. The stated runtime is about 15 minutes for a character on an M-series MacBook.
