Hello. My name is Artem Osadchyi, and I am a Technical Artist.
I would like to showcase the developments on the S2UE project that I worked on in early 2023.



Additional Information:

• Procedural materials created using Substance Designer and Houdini.

• Foliage created using SpeedTree (7-14k tris)

• A multitude of Nanite-ready 3D assets created using Maya/Blender and Houdini.

• Lumen optimization and project configuration in Unreal Engine 5.

Looks fantastic. Looking forward to this, loved the previous S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

How are you handling LODs for this?

For static meshes, I leverage Nanite, and Houdini is invaluable for this purpose.
Trees still have LODs and utilize the SpeedTree wind system.

Additionally, I employ Octahedral Impostors when it comes to distant LODs.
