Hello there! So... this is my 2nd year trying to finish an enviro Challenge, hope this is the one I finish. So far I've more or less matched the perspective and proportions of the reference (I just started working on the 1st of Feb) Since I've had a hard time finishing environments so far, I will take a sort of MVP…
Hi everyone! I’m pretty new to UE5 and real-time rendering, and I’d really appreciate some feedback on this scene. My main goal here is to achieve realistic, volumetric lighting and overall atmosphere — something close to the reference image that I’ve attached as well. Right now the scene doesn’t feel quite there yet,…

Hello! I made a model of my D&D character for my portfolio. The goals I kept in mind for this piece were to: * Complete a game-ready 3D character from scratch, without any base meshes * Learn the hair cards workflow and experiment with manual placement * Convey the core idea of the character, even when the concept is…
Hi Djenna! Looks like a pretty cool character to work on! I hope you don't mind some feedback already at this stage, but I'd recommend analysing the art style you're going for a bit more deeply and think about how it would apply to the clothing. In most cases stylized clothing has lots of intent put behind the folds, and…
Hi! Its looking better, really nice progress!. I think your fog is way too intense, its drowning out a lot of your details here. Its hard to find the right balance but I would say keep messing around with it, you want it to add to the overall composition of your environment, right now its taking away from what I thin is…
The sun 'is' 120k lux before clouds/atmosphere get involved iirc - don't quote me but i think the 75k that the sun position plugin provided by Unreal uses is probably in the right ballpark for actual light hitting earth (i will immediately concede to anyone who has done actual research into this - im doing the sums in my…
Hello! We are a brand-new team called Desperados (yes, we really are desperate). We are working on a new game mainly for fun and to gain experience together, with the goal of publishing it one day and creating many more games in the future. At the moment, we are looking for 3D artists (at least 2) to help us create assets…
The main issue is that I can’t find a suitable shader. Initially, I used a toon shader and took the outline from it as well. However, I’m not very satisfied with the result: the image looks quite flat, and the specular doesn’t behave the way I’d like. The gradients also make the render feel overly stylized. After that, I…
After browsing this section for a while I've come to a conclusion that I'm supposed to start to post only if my project has something substantial to show. But then what if I commit to a grave mistake early on? I do need help with the whole thing after all. Deciding to just go for it, I'm starting this WiP thread, sorry X)…
