Real-time: Bringing Scans Into UE4

Sure these are pretty scans but I need them to run in real-time in a game engine.  The entire process of translating a model from RAW scan into game ready asset is an art form all it's own (or at least an important job).

Yes, they are for sale!  But even beyond that Luke has undertaken to share his process with all of us (see below).
