[WIP] [UE5] Farm House

scrawld

It's been many a years since I created a WIP thread on Polycount 😊. I recently took part in the Artstation Lightage Challenge and it reminded me how useful it is to have a place to share progress whilst working on a project.

I wanted to work on a large open outdoor environment next, as its not something I've done properly before. I saw this image by G xy and immediately loved it, so decided to recreate it for my next project!

Starting blockout so far:

I like your blockout so far! Are you gonna try to match the lighting of the original or put your own spin on it?

TAJack

I like your blockout, the lighting is going to be a fun challenge!

Thank you for the comments @Elivenger and @TAJack!

@Elivenger I was going to aim to match the lighting initially, but then I might do some variations afterwards. I had been thinking a dawn sunrise might also look quite cool.

@TAJack I hadn't given much thought as to how I would do the lighting, but you're right! Thinking about it I've never tried to do an overcast scene before.

Only a small update this week. I want to work on some areas that are beyond what can be seen in the concept, so I made an animation that reveals a little more of the house and garden. I've also been practicing my rock sculpting skills which admittedly are rather rusty.

I spent a long while going through different iterations of the cliffs. Originally working towards a realistic look, but ultimately as I progressed I decided it didn't really fit with the concept. So I decided to make some changes and go for something more stylistic, which I've actually been enjoying a lot more.





Here are the original rocks I did. I was quite pleased with them, so perhaps after this I'll use then for another project instead. 😊

Thanks!
