Creating an Arctic Environment in Unreal Engine 5

Рет қаралды 175,588

Күн бұрын

In this video I go through the process of not only creating an arctic environment, but also how I 3D scanned something made entirely of glass.
I show you my process for photogrammetry, texturing, and creating an entire environment in under an hour.

@user-vn7gv8sf8e Жыл бұрын

The cone part was so funny for me because I had the same idea :D I am using UE5 for two weeks, just created my first Landscape and the looking of the trees in the Arboreal-Node in Gaea remembered me of cones, so I thaught "Would be funny to make the illusion of trees with cones, but no way that would function lol" - and here you are haha, what a legend.

impressive ! created an arctic environment started from photo (alaska) reference and then memory (norway) suddenly added cones and spheres to suggest trees and city... all these got me through a perception dilemma, that I've put in my notebook: final video shows a realistic impression of an imaginary place. 😎 cheers from Rio !

This was amazing! The only nitpick I have is the size and scale of the inukshuk. Most inukshuk you'll find are generally a bit bigger or the same size as the Inuit people who built them. Probably 6 feet max. The reason for this is that inukshuk are commonly used as a hunting decoy/utility by the Inuits. They mark every inukshuk with scents by peeing on them, or smearing animal blood or guys. This actually attracts things like polar bears and foxes to them. They may even leave bait at the inukshuk. Picture a line of spaced apart inukshuk over hundreds of meters. The animals they are hunting keep following the inukshuk from one to the next, and so on. After say four inukshuk, an Inuit hunter hides behind inukshuk number 5. The unsuspecting game approach unaware of the impending danger,( the Inuit hunter) and gets ambushed,/killed. This was how traditional Inuit hunters take down a polar bear. This was a very educational video!Thank you for sharing!

The quality on this video is exceptional. Apart from rendering at a high resolution and increasing antialiasing samples, do you adjust Lumen quality or manage to leave on default?
