Martian Colony [UE4]

JLizzle

Wanted to learn more about UE4 and physically based workflows. So I've been doing this piece based on Destiny's Mars. Still a good bit to do, but I wanted to go ahead and post something early to see if I could get some feedback.
Right now I'm mostly concerned with composition and color. After that;

-tree texture
-2x landscape textures / paint landscape
-destroyed background buildings / textures
-set dressing (lil' rocks & shrubies)

Definitely need to do something in the foreground, but not sure what.

Picked back up on this scene. Still plenty of work to do on it. However any comments or critiques are still welcome.



Not 100% sure what's happening on the background buildings lightmap. Maybe it's too small?

foliage for the red flower is just 2 planes crossed. Any ideas about how to make it look puffier and more like a dandelion without adding a bunch more polys would be greatly appreciated.


Still need to finish buildings/ building texture. Add some smaller details to buildings. And polish landscape and landscape materials.

This is looking great. Your cliffs are awesome. As for the flowers, I don't have a direct solution, but maybe look into 2d camera facing cards/sprites?

Just use more geometry or use textured planes. Don't use cross sections unless you're going to fix the vertex normals
