[UE4] New York Downtown (WIP)

lucim197

Hi guys,

It has been almost 4 months since I started this project and I wanted to share my progress at this moment. The buildings are made semi-procedural (modular pieces instantiated using some rules), I have parameters exposed for width, length, and number of floors of the buildings. I still have a lot to do for this project so any feedback or comment is highly appreciated. Thank you!

I also tested the Sun Positioner and Screen Space Global Illumination from UE 4.24. It is  in progress and I still have a lot to do, any feedback or comment is highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot for and Happy Holidays!

Looks really cool. I think if you put in some non-square buildings, it would give it a more modern look.

@Ashervisalis Thank you! It is a good ideea, but unfortunately the procedural system limits me to use only right angles, but I think I can make some specific modular pieces with some angle variations at the end and place them manually.

 You may have already planned for this, but I think some fire escapes would add some more depth to the faces of the buildings.

@icegodofhungary Thank you for your comment! I was inspired by Park  Ave S from New York, and as you can see, there are no fire escapes on entire avenu (or on other ones). 

But you are right, I should make something about the depth of buildings.But because there are tall buildings, it creates an impossible  situation, the fire escapes being too high. In the future I will create a type of building with a small ground floor to allow me to put the fire escapes.
