University Final Project UE4 Envinronment

Twotents

Hello everyone.

I recently finished up my final project for uni. A small environment built in UE4 using handpainted textures.

Here are the screenshots.

I Would love some critique and feedback so I can improve the scene further before I put it into my portfolio.

Thanks all!

Some of the grass blades are uncharacteristically crunched to black.  Do you know what's going on there?

I'm not sure, I am guessing that it has to do with the shadows rendering incorrectly. It's something I need to investigate in UE 4 as I don't get that problem in Marmoset Toolbag 2

Hey there, looking good overall but I aggree to Brian that the grass needs more love.

Have you tried the following?
-Make sure the lightmap has the appropriate size
-set lighting to vegetation
-Set the vertex normals to point up

Maybe this helps too:

Looking forward to your progress!

Thanks anMori and Brian, after reading through that forum post, I think its to do with the normals, either that or double sided faces on the grass only showing the one side. I will sort it out asap!
