I want a good low poly shading, for example, nintendo models are very low poly, but they don’t look low poly in-game.  
There’s a way to make that on unreal? Here’s a pic of my problem:

Maybe a shader?

Thanks you 🙂

The only way I know is tessellation, that’s the common way in general, I guess, because I don’t know any other possibility.

Normal map bake from highpoly usually. Or face weighted normals. On this 1up you could get far with just smooth imstead of hard edges.
