[UE4] Hangar 5 FMP

LVG

Hi,

I've now completed my Final Major Project which started out as a Doom-like level and through iteration evolved into a more grounded in reality type of Sci-Fi Hangar, I would have liked to push this a lot further than I had but due to time constraints I had to cut down my work load, I used great artists such as Matthew Johns and Joshua Lynch as inspiration for this project, I also used this project as a way to learn new techniques and programs to further better my skills and understanding of production workflows. A major part of this project was to focus on lighting and composition to create an atmosphere and cold mood as It is something I have not really tried before, reading Clinton Crumpler's amazing 80.lv article on mood and story telling pushed me to try and create a scene that contained both.

I hope to revisit this level over the next few weeks to add in more content before I have to develop a show reel for my course, any feedback and critiques on of the current state of the level would be much appreciated.

Detail Lighting

Hey man, its looking good so far! The only thing i would say is lighten up the environment a bit so we can see the scene and the details you putting in there.

@Cglewis Thanks Lewis appreciate the feedback, do you have any tips on brightening it up a bit? if I lighten using a sky light it's way too bright and using indirect lighting I've got that cranked up to 4 already, If it's best to use fill lights is there any secret to  correctly placing them?

• @LVG  i would try playing with the skylight and see if you cant get subtle results...if you are unable trying throwing a post process volume in the scene that will give you alot of control over how dark your darks are. You will also be able to tweak DOF and even add some sweet Bohek DOF

Thank you appreciate the feedback, I still really feel it can be vastly improved

Update: Friend for the screens looked rather flat and less like actual screens, added reflection captures near the screens themselves to better convey the "glass" look
