Unreal engine forest flythrough

samdebenham

Hi everyone.
I've been working on a level and would love some feedback on it.
Most of the assets are from the unreal marketplace, but for this project I was focusing on things like layout, level design, colour grading, lighting, and getting everything to flow nicely together so there are no hard edges where foliage colors blend or anything.
Let me know what you think/what I could improve on for next time.
Cheers

p.s. The new level sequence tool in 4.12 is pretty great, I found it much more straightforward to render out a quick fly through.

Screencaps are from the fly through, that's why they have a bit of motion blur.

Wow, looking pretty solid, that frame-rate is buttery smooth. I'd love to see this relit with more of a sunny day feel. With the light beams pokin through the trees and what not.

@pixelpatron nice idea about the sun shafts, I gave it a quick try... went off on a bit of a tangent and tried out some sunset type lighting also.

Critique is welcome...

Rendered out a quick fly through of some sun shafts - its a bit over the top, but I think it looks quite cinematic.

Cool shots, liking the lastest one a lot! (green one)
The red shot is harder to read, because of the large amounts of shadows and similar tones in the foreground.
Toning down the lighting to be less dominant might help the shot.
Cool stuff, keep it up.
