First full environnement creation, how to get started?
polycounter lvl 5
Hello everyone,
I've been modelling props for a while now and i wanted to attack my first environnement scene. So i wanted to get information on how to start doing environnements.
What should i aim for with my first scene ? Will taking on an outdoor environnement be too challenging at first ?
For example i was aiming to do this bridge and some of the flora around it (trees, grass ..). Also the river running through it.
Where can i get some good tutorials to learn how to model terrain and use unreal engine ?

Best place to start is the engine docs
https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/Content/QuickStart/index.html
Also we have good resources here on our wiki

And above all, just do it! Regardless if you're going to nail it in the end or not, because you will always learn something in the process.
