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
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
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
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… -
Re: (Finished) Research Outpost - Unreal Engine 5 Environment
Great work in progress, keep at it! Currently it feels like all your props and assets are made of 1 piece and are a similar colour. I know you're going for a frozen aesthetic. I really recommend you look at some reference on how frozen assets look. Usually they still read clearly, maybe have some snow/ice on it. Here a… -
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
Hi everyone, brief update for the week. :) I’ve continued refining shapes and making adjustments to improve cohesion and readability throughout the interior. Some proportions and transitions between assets felt a bit too simple before, so I’ve been tightening those up and pushing toward a more consistent shape language.… -
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
You should check out The Thing (1982), when they go to the abandoned Norwegian station. Lots of great shots inside with snow and ice on everything. This movie is the first thing I thought of when seeing your concept. -
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…
