Ancient Paradise [UE4]

Hey there!

Some images of my latest project. Done in 4 weeks with Unreal Engine 4.

I hope you like it, see you!

Looks good overall.

The water's borders look too straight/sharp in the last shot. The school bus would be better with a black bumper and proper headlights.

Tobbo

The materials need to be worked on some more. Everything is reading as the exact same material with the same roughness (including the water).

What do some of your flat textures look like?

The grass is very distracting due to how it receives lighting. The shaded side is completely black while the other is lit, in real life this doesn't happen since the light scatters through the grass and illuminates the other side too.

To add to this, here's a decent breakdown on how to get good grass in UE4 https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?3268-Nature-Environment-in-UE4&p=21370&viewfull=1#post21370

Thank you all!

@EmAr: Yes, I have to change that sharpness as soon as I can.

@Tobbo: I'll upload some textures, no problem!

@Xendance, @ZacD: Totally right, I couldn't do some improvements because of the deadlines, and that you told about the grass is a good point. Also thank you for the breakdown!

Looks great! Unfortunately UE4 doesn't do so well with transparencies/vegetation/water right now. So I don't totally blame you for the shortcomings therein.

But I will say that hill thing in the back looks a little weird/barren. It's shaped like a mountain that should be bigger and farther away than it seems, it also needs something on it besides a texture. Good job on the foreground though!
