Industrial Environment scene

Hi, this is the new scene I'm working on. I decided to do an industrial scene inspired by environments from games like destiny, COD and the division. For the base I'm reusing an old scene that I made 2 years ago and making it modular.



First steps, making the scene modular.

Some of the images I am using for inspiration and reference.

All comments and suggestions are welcome

Basic setup of modular element is done, next step I'm going to go crazy doing a blockout of all the different elements that will help transform this from a boring empty warehouse to a fun game environment. If anyone has a link to a forum post or tutorial on how to do some cool god ray kind of light coming trough the skylight I would really appreciate it.

Slowly starting to add more elements to the scene.

Added some decals to the scene and a couple more props.

Solid modeling! Maybe you're not on this stage yet, but your lighting is looking pretty flat - I'd add more directionality and interest there.

Agree with the above comment. Really solid, but lighting could be more dramatic and defined to really make the level look great. Some of the bare concrete such as the roof beams could also use a little more variation. Perhaps other props or decals.

Still refining the lighting it is usually my weakest point when it comes to UE4, I'll keep playing with it tomorrow and add some more decals for variation.

Thanks Carrie! Yeah the light still needs some work , still trying to find the right balance between contrast and clear view of the whole environment.

I'll try to add more decals to the concrete, maybe some different concrete textures or security posters (to follow the industrial theme) instead of more stains, I don't want everything in the scene to be covered in dirt.

I'm thinking that for the next step I'll be transforming the scene into a mech repair shop with some robotic arms and stuff. Hopefully with that I can make the scene really come to life and tell a story. If anyone has any comments or a better idea on how to improve it please feel free to comment.

Updated the lighting after feedback I received on other websites.
