[WIP] Orbital station
polycounter lvl 7
Hey folks -- posting some wip shots for a sci-fi themed environment I've been working on.
Most of my past projects have focused on asset creation (modeling, texturing, etc.) For this project I wanted to focus on practicing set dressing, composition, and lighting using a reasonably complete set of assets. To that end, I'm primarily making this map out of assets that are on the UE4 marketplace, and making some custom assets of my own to supplement those.
As I move along, I'll likely modify or replace models and textures of the marketplace assets.
Main hallway
Command center
Mini arboretum
Stairs and doors
Observation bay
Also included a few animated shots. First up shows the moons orbiting the planet:

I also have the sky sphere, planet, and sunlight rotating in sync with one another to create the illusion that the space station is orbiting around the planet.
(Currently these all rotate/orbit much faster than is realistic, mostly using this speed for demonstration purposes. I might slow this down at some point to make it subtler.)
I also made a marquee material that scrolls a texture with periodic pausing for reading text:

Packages from the Marketplace I'm mainly relying on so far are the Modular Sci-fi series, Flowers and Plants Nature pack, and Planet Creator.
