Re: (Finished) Research Outpost - Unreal Engine 5 Environment
Thanks for the suggestions and feedback, much appreciated! @Eric Chadwick @Fabi_G =) The recommendation to check out The Thing (1982) is a great one. That abandoned Norwegian station sequence really captures the kind of atmosphere I’m aiming for with this project, snow and ice slowly reclaiming an interior space. I’ve also… -
Re: (Finished) Research Outpost - Unreal Engine 5 Environment
Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback, I really appreciate it. @Peyd3d =) You’re absolutely right about the shading issues. I’ve gone over the meshes several times and addressed a number of those areas already. Some of the round and beveled assets were causing issues, so I’ve increased the geometry there to improve the… -
Re: (Finished) Research Outpost - Unreal Engine 5 Environment
Good progress, it's nice to seeing the snow buildup on certain assets and it starts getting that icy feeling. 2 things I notice overall that stick out a lot to me: * It looks like you have a lot of shading issues going on. You fixed a few of them, but I still see many. After you finish this project I highly recommend you… -
Re: (Finished) Research Outpost - Unreal Engine 5 Environment
Thank you for the detailed feedback @Peyd3d, I really appreciate the time you took to write this and even provide the paintover. It’s very helpful. =) You’re absolutely right about studying reference and thinking more about how assets are actually constructed. The point about assets reading as single pieces is something I… -
Re: (Finished) Research Outpost - Unreal Engine 5 Environment
Hi everyone, happy weekend! Update on the project. :) I made one major change to the layout, I removed the smallest room. As it was unnecessary, and frankly it looks better without. Now I can clearly divide the first room into sections for separate uses and functionalities. Lately I’ve been focusing heavily on asset… -
Re: (Finished) Research Outpost - Unreal Engine 5 Environment
Thank you both for the thoughtful feedback @Fabi_G @Peyd3d, I really appreciate the time you took to write this. =) You’re absolutely right about refining the blockout and clarifying function and purpose. I’ve spent the last couple of days tightening up the interior shapes and making sure each space has a clearer role… -
(Finished) Research Outpost - Unreal Engine 5 Environment
Hello everyone. :) I have started a new environment project. The setting is a research outpost, with visual inspiration drawn from Mass Effect: Andromeda and Fallout 4. Combining sci-fi structures with signs of decay and long-term exposure. Goals for this project: * Create a wide range of modular assets and props to… -
Re: (Finished) Research Outpost - Unreal Engine 5 Environment
Hi, time for another update. :) Thanks a lot, I really appreciate that. @Peyd3d You make a very good point about the camera positions. I haven’t fully committed to fixed cameras yet, and I can see how that makes it harder to read the space clearly. Locking in a few key viewpoints soon will definitely help with composition… -
Re: (Finished) Research Outpost - Unreal Engine 5 Environment
Hey everyone! :) Just finished up this project created in Unreal Engine 5. This one ended up being more challenging than I initially expected, especially when it came to getting materials like snow/frost to read correctly and working with decals. That said, I learned a ton throughout the process and I’m really happy with… -
Re: (Finished) Research Outpost - Unreal Engine 5 Environment
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback, I really appreciate you taking the time. :) I took your advice and reduced the scope quite a bit. Originally I planned for three rooms, but after stepping back and asking myself “does this space really serve a purpose?”, the smallest room didn’t justify its existence. Removing it helped…
