Identifying shadow details as generated or painted

In a workflow making assets for games, a lot of times we'll see high-poly models…generating things for a low-poly model to be used in the final game.…An example of that are rendered shadows.…A lot of times what we'll do is draw shadows, and sometimes we'll render them as well.…Some of what we need to do in our planning of our building is to mark key areas…that might be rendered, where we need to dedicate some time to making a high-poly…model to render or bake things like shadows or occlusion.…

As an example, this garage door might merit a high-poly model.…There is a lot of inter-shadowing we can see here on the panels that are…recessed and the trim around the windows that we probably could do a decent…paint on, but we might get a better result if we render it.…Additionally--and I'll turn off layer 1 again to show this--we can see that…there is inter-shadowing of the wall on the door and the wall on the door and…the door trim. Again, this might be easier to render.…We can paint shadows on things like this flaking paint, because we're going to…
