Factory Hall (Environment)

Maarten · Dec 2017

Hi everybody.

I just started on my first environment in the Unreal Engine, I do have modelling/texturing experience but I want to focus more on environment art.
The basic idea of this environment is a old factory hall with machinery taken over by people in a post apocalyptic world. I am taking inspiration from games like The Last of Us (the dam level) and some of my own idea's.
The lighting is no where near done and I am still learning the Unreal Engine during this process.
The basic shapes are done and some basic assets are added.
Feedback and tips are always nice to see

Thank you for reading!

I added some windows, actual window models still ned to be made but it added some more sunlight to the scene.
Dont have much time to work on this scene in my own time but the weekend is comming up so stay tuned!

Added some more assets, next up some more modular pipes, windows and more little stuff.

Added some block models of machines and a shipping container with added roof to make it like a little living area. I think it will be cool if the roof is missing at more spots. More light/vegitation will be able to flow in and it makes sense for people to make shelter indoors because of rain and wind comming inside the building.

Hi, here are some tips. Start with gathering reference for the idea you have (maybe post some reference you have) and make a blockout in UE4. The blockout will help you getting a good composition for your shot. If you are happy with the blockout you can start adding models and more detials.
Maybe take a look at this article: https://80.lv/articles/andres-rodriguez-environment-art-interview/

I hope this helps you

Thanks for the tip, I have allot of reference already (didnt post it here). I think my blockout is a bit to minimalistic and needs a bit more tought and details to give a better view of what it will become in the end.
