[UE4] Fantasy scene
polycounter lvl 5
Final result.
Hello polycount. I'm starting a new project for practice and training. I want to make it in a dark style, maybe like in dark souls, eg.
Here is concept, that I found on pinterest and fast blockout.

Update.
@Poinball , @Envie Thanks.
So here's what I have done for now. I start to build the scene and put there all I have done in lowpoly. There is no textures except floor, but I dont like floor textures too, so I will change them.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Simplejay thanks.
Here is my recent update. I made textures, materials and lightning. Still much to be done, but I am already at the final straight. Any feedback are welcome.
Everything is looking good, I love your attention to detail!
Kohr and
TyAnlauf thanks for feedback.
Also here is link on gif with fire bowl http://i.imgur.com/VeHf7Wv.gifv
FreneticPonies and NateMasterFlash thanks for feedback.
I think that I finished this project.

If I can suggest 2 things :
- Form the rock and the floor ( on the edge ) have almost the same color and blend a bit to much for me so maybe you can tweak that a bit.
- I think if you add a background it will be really cool , like lava , hell !
But in any case really good job dude !
Amazing work. surpassed the concept in my opinion.
I have some nit picky suggestions. Don't feel like you have to do any of these but might be worth a try in the future.
- The concept has a nice hue transition from blue/green at the top and red/orange at the bottom. To me that helps grounds the eye and helps drive the focal point to the bright flames in addition it adds atmosphere. Similar to what Dragonar mentioned by adding a background. You could try playing with blue/green height fog. If that doesn't work maybe try a sky box or a combination of the two. Unless you have other ideas.
-The rocks in the concept are curved upward slightly more than yours are. This gives more of a menacing feeling like the jagged rocks want to eat you. You did this as well, I think you only need to rotate the rocks or add more of a bend might improve it. Again, pretty nit picky.
-Another nit picky thing is that the horns on the concept appear to point forward more. To me it looks more menacing and aggressive which adds to the mood. Playing around with some more post processing might help to push the mood further just a little bit as well.
Excellent job. This piece has really turned out well!
@kohg All floor plains is separate pieces, I have 2 main plains in center and 4 small plains under the monument. Then I made planar UV mapping and adjust UV position.
@Dragonar , @TyAnlauf Nice suggestions. I will take note. There many improvements can be made. But I think, that this project is done for me. Sometimes there need to stop and move further.
The Helmets glowing with fire from inside would look sick imho.
@defraggerI tried it, but I didn't like how its looks. Bigger helmet looked strange for me. This is just my personal preference.
I noticed that a lot of ue4 stills have perfect antialiasing. as if it were rendered in a software renderer like vray for example.
But i've never seen any game or interactive viewer (marmoset/sketchfab for example) whose AA is anywhere near that.
They always degrade the moment you start to move the camera.
Is there a way to set up a simple scene where you can play around and see what it's like with full AA at all times?
I understand you would need great hardware, but I'd like to see it in action even if the framerate is terrible.
@Tomiajayi For games need good optimization, so that they could run on low performance PCs. Also games have much much bigger locations. But I could use any polycount, textures and settings, because I don't need optimization for now. What about marmoset/sketchfab, I can't tell you because I have not used them yet (maybe they have some compression, I don't know).
What about setting up the scene, I am not sure that I understand you correct and what means ''full AA at all times"" in Unreal, but I set the settings to the Epic in Unreal and play my scene and I have had around 100 FPS.
What i'm thinking about is if you just want to do a graphics test with NO optimization at all (at least for AA materials and light. models/textures could be anything)
Usually what happens in viewers is that the moment the camera moves, it degrades the AA to produce a quick framerate. Then as the cam stops, the AA jumps back up to full smooth/clean. Is that what happens in Unreal @ 100fps for u?
