Hockey Arena (Maverik Center) UE4
polycounter lvl 6
Sports games don't get too much love on here, but I like how EA NHL15 focused on creating an authentic arena experience for each team. Last year around this time they were promoting the new arenas. I thought it'd be fun to create the arena in my home town on my spare time (reason for it taking close to a year). Most of it is modular and assets are instanced a ton, seats and and railings, have LODs to run better in engine. Seats get LOD changed at a fairly close distance to 2 polygons, for the most part it holds up, but it really makes a difference in performance. I mainly focused on the ice and boards areas, as that get most of the attention in game play, so the materials outside of that aren't perfect. Tried to make a material for the ice that changes over time as to simulate skating on it. Not perfect by any means, but I had fun.
