[UE4] Warehouse Environment

Malatoar

Update 28-8-2016:

___________________________________________________________


Here are some screenshots of an environment I've been working on outside of work for a few weeks. I think I'm getting close to calling it finished, but there still are some things I want to improve. Feedback is more than welcome!




I did notice quite a huge difference in brightness between my two screens. It currently looks a little too bright on my good screen, but way too dark on my older screen. Please let me know if this is way too dark, then I'll upload some brighter screenshots!

Looks awesome! It seems a tad dark on my screen, do you use the UE4 high resolution screen shot function? I have noticed that it always looks a bit different than the view port.

What types of lights are you using?

Hi Malatoar,

it's very interesting the furnace that you had designed, maybe I would give more importance to it, adding more lights that come out from the inside to warm the scene.

love the furnace

Malatoar

Thanks guys!

@Benvox2: yea, it took a while to configure the high resolution screen shot to look similar to my actual scene, but I also had some issues with my screen's brightness. I hope I fixed that now! I'm using both point lights, spot lights, and a directional light.

@GameArtifact: I was thinking about that, but feared adding more lights would just make it noisy. I might still play around with it, though.

@amirabd2130: Thanks!

Here are slightly brighter versions of the scene, I hope this is more visible!

Managed to do a little more work on it tonight. I created some more proxy meshes, and placed them around the scene.
I also set up my ground shader to now blend between two materials, I just have to create the textures for the ground variation. (yes, the bright yellow stuff is placeholder!)
The ground shader is using a noise mask in combination with world space to get rid of the tiling a little bit.

Let me know what you think!

At the moment it kind of reminds of Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs. Not sure if that was the intended feel you were going before regardless, you've executed the scene really quite well! Looking forward to the finished product.

Malatoar

Thanks @gfelton! Amnesia never even crossed my mind, but since it's both set in older decaying buildings, I guess I should have looked at more of their work!

I had some time to make a few high polys and bakes, so here's the scene with some of the proxies replaced by meshes with AO and Normals. The filler mesh for the carts obviously turned out quite bad, so I'll be redoing that.

Feedback is always welcome!

Malatoar

Found some time to finish some more textures, and fix some others. Also finally painted in the sand on the floor boards.

Would love some feedback!

Malatoar

I'm going to call this finished and move on to a next project. Feedback is still appreciated though!

And I still don't know how to embed Marmoset Viewer, so here's a link instead: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/XOVAD

I decided to come back and tweak a few more small things after receiving feedback from a colleague. 

I'm going to call this finished so I can start on a new project, but feedback is still more than welcome!

Very very nice. There is something about the metal reflection that just doesn't look right to me. Not exactly sure what it is.

The minecart in the middle looks like it has a repeating texture. Could it be different?

Nice work.
Actually I prefer the darker version. your last image is a little too bright IMO.
