3D Art Week 01

Blocks & Materials in UE4

For the first assignment we exported the mannequin from UE4 in to maya as an FBX to compare scale.  The mannequin is approximately 6 feet in height.

I created a cube the size of the mannequin and then created a small cube.

About 3 of these cubes equal a foot.  Then I beveled the edges of the cube and exported it as an FBX into UE4.  Then I made my level design in UE4 based off of a Chinese Garden.



I then created a base texture in UE4.

Then I created a duplicated of this texture and made it emissive:



Using these two materials, I created material instances for the stone, grass, and wood textures in my level, adjusting the parameters until I felt satisfied with the effect of the materials and colors in the scene.

I then adjusted the fog, sunlight, star and sky until it was a dreamy twilight night scene.
