Hello guys,
I'm still working on my scene in UE4 and would love to add some spider webs on the corners of the room, but I would like to know the best way to create them. I'm still new in the industry.

Thank you :)

    The latest games where I've seen webs were crawling through vents in Deus Ex Mankind Divided and in an attic in Dishonoured haha. From what I've seen, draping a few polys in a corner and adding a texture of a web with an alpha to make it transparent in-between the strands is the way to go. Most of the effect is accomplished by how you arrange the polygons I'd imagine, but maybe make the web itself a bit transparent as well.

    Yeah, alpha blending is the way to go, along with a slightly rounded lowpoly shape to get that draped effect.
