Modeling only in UE, is it real?

Hi, all. I know that UE has a modelling mode. At the same time, reading the forum, etc., people write smth like I created a model in Blender\Cinema4d, etc and then textured it in UE. Even among courses here, I saw cases of Blender + UE5.
My question about good practice.

Is this normal practice to make all models in one program, or better use more?

For example, I have little knowledge of Cinema4d and zero in the EU. I’m talking about modelling every single asset (houses, characters, guns, cars).
Any advice, or thoughts?
Thx.

Hi Aleks,

In my view, it’s better to use less programs. The tradeoff is everything happening in “one place” vs creating in another place and exporting. Other tools may have extra/different functionality, but I’d consider the modeling tools in UE comparable to Blender. (If you get to a certain point with the UE modeling tools and realize you need Blender/C4D you can always export from UE.)

My advice is to try and complete a mesh in each, then decide which one you like to use better.
