This is not level design this is environment art, none the less really awesome environment.

And all done in 10 minutes, mind-blowing.

Quixel Megascans has left the chat. Was NOT expecting sculpting stones from scratch lol

Wow this is not what i expected from the KZfaq algorithm but it is certainly what i needed to see.

Very well done. my favorite thing about these videos (to some extent) is not the quality of the product, which this one is very exceptional, but observing the workflow of other environmental design artist.

Wow. As someone coming from motion design and flapping around at the moment with my first efforts in environment design, that was incredibly useful to see. Great workflow & design process. Thanks for sharing!

Man, this is insane. I would love to see each step with a voice over, talking about your decision making and technicalities. For example, how do you bring the asset from UE to Zbrush and then back and textured without UVs

Incredibly amazing!

This is great. Echoing others here you should definitely create some tutorials / a series where beginners could follow along and create something for the first time! There's a lot of potential there as UE5 becomes more mainstream. I'll be patiently waiting :)

This is insane well done man ❤

Congrats on the new channel!

Its inspirational to see some twice as talented as you do something awesome. But when they are one million times as talented, thats just depressing 😅 . Awesome.

WoooW looks amazing

so beautiful

Please, consider making a tutorial series of this. This is amazing and would be super helpful! :)

Great video. I would love to see a more in-depth tutorial on how you generated the cliffs (@4:57) and your thought process in Zbrush. Thanks for sharing!

So satisfying...

Dude this is insane, you deserve more views

Holy Effying Shait!!!! this is just absolutely mind-blowing!! the fact that when we play we do not appreciate the amount of work and experience needed to make sceneries look this amazing is crazy!! I have absolutely no idea how any of this works but you seem so experienced that it almost looks "easy" which I know it isn't lol... i can't wait to see how artificial intelligence is going to help you guys map and scene makers do great things for the gaming industry! that's awesome man!!

oh yes please some tutorial this is great work !

This is amazing

This desert looks sick

Très belle maîtrise, , excellent à regarder, magnifique

ustam, eline sağlık çok güzel oldu.

Wow beautiful

This was awesome

as a beginner in UE for lookdev, this is the quality and skill i aspire to.. amazing work !

you are a god

Very impressive, sir. I'm a newcomer to this platform and have been looking around at the talent that makes such wonderful art. Great job!

That was amazing

Wow the tool is pretty amazing.

Insane!

Designer Master 🔥

this is aweomse!

keep going like that bro

I often find that I wish I grew up earlier so I'd be like 10 when the Wii came out, but then I see this and wish I was born later where every game could looks like this to my 10 yr old self. (You have the most free time and I enjoyed games the most around that age)

Looks great! I wonder what the tri coint and draw calls are for this though, looks heavy.

amazing！

Awesome!

C'est quand-même affolant le travail que ça représente, j'ai moi-même déjà créé des niveaux sur certains jeux et le temps passe si vite.

This is really impressive. I am curious of what you did with ZBrush with those multiple meshes forming one big rock. Is it to make easier the texturing by using a simple image and different types of noise instead of using a dedicated software like Substance Painter?

Well F*king done. Dude your are awesome that was insane

For cinematic shots, this is beautiful, for actual games, not so much of a level. Good work either way!

2:20 and that ladies and gentlemen is how baby boulders are made

hey, im new to UE5 and am still learning all the tools and tricks. i would love to see a video on the way that you manipulated the landscape tools and created differen levels of land

Very cool!

Reminds me of that one mission from Halo 4 excellent work looks awesome

looks very cool

Awesome 🎉🎉🎉

i was jsut expecting you to use some megascans for the rocks, but DAMN you actually took the time to model them

amazing 😯😯❤❤

idc what you all say, I actually learned a lot in this one video

I have a doubt, regarding the cliff made on zbrush, is it worth doing the retopology process, considering the potential of nanite technology? I mean even if you have a bad topology, after sculpting a cliff, is it like "nanite will take care of that"? Really great environment btw :)

Because there is no ‘level’ (I.e a 3D environment to lead the player through a set of experiences) there is nothing to ‘design’ (I.e designing requires a brief/an objective) This person is simply creating an environment. Typically, you ‘grey box’ the 3D environment first. This is done whilst also keeping note of what player experiences (puzzles, narrative triggers, confined areas causing the player to loose track of objective etc etc) these are worked out by a design brief usually made by the level designer or game designer. After grey box is complete, you test it and once you are happy, you replace the grey 3D boxes used as place holders with real objects. This is why this isn’t a video showing level design. Simply environment design based off concept art. Still very impressive stuff!

godlike

I don’t know shit about how any of this works, only maybe surface level knowledge. But damn, he modeled, gave texture and lighting to this. That’s amazing and this scenery is beautiful.

C’est la question j me posais il y a quelque jours merci pour la vidéo elle est géniale 🤩 👍🏾🚶🏾‍♂️

Another KZfaqr I watch (Sykoo) also used to confuse environment and level design. This is environment design. Great job, though. It looks awesome in the end.

Just insane….!!!

Commenting below because I'd like to see every section as step by step tutorial and would love to buy one (if you would to explain nodes for materials in detail, many brush off as it is a common knowlage!) Wonderful job, well done

Hell ya 🔥

Nicely done! Idc what people want to call it, I call it skills. Really amazing work and artistic abilities. 🔥🔥

Amazing work...and all this knowledge over multiple programs (UE5, Gaea, zbrush, photoshop) amazing! You say this took a little under 2 days, is this in hours? like it took a bit less than 48 hours? Because this is hella impressive for such amount of time! This looks like a scene that could be used in a super realistic roadrunner movie (from looney tunes). Amazing....

cool!

Very nice! 🙂

Saw the GPU crash at 7:39 😬 Gotta love when that happens! Great work btw.

do you need assets to do that or you can just do it on ue?

wait wait wait, what is that card your putting down for blending the soils? is that the ue mesh editor? 6:06

I'd buy a detailed tutorial of this video. amazing!

Very nice work :)

Tôi rất thích xem quá trình làm phong cảnh của bạn hay ra nhiều video như này nữa nhé

Awesome timelapse! Did you do everything in UE5? Would've been awesome to have a in depth tutorial of the different stages that is somewhat beginner friendly. Especially the 3D Modelling, the making of some of the assets. If you did that in UE5 with some of the plugins that would be awesome to see. I think UE could become veeery strong if it became as vast as for example blender is in that aspect. Awesome work! 😊

It's so satisfying seeing something go from blocky and boring to look at to THIS

How long did this take you my friend?

Lmao bro final work looks better than reference, that`s freakin insane!

wow

This is incredible! Very good job. But it looks like at 4:52 you just skipped over placing some of the meshes. But this is really well done. Also I noticed you're doing something with the rectangles you are placing, it looks like you're using some kind of tool to cause the edges of the rectangle to curve downward? How do you do that?

With unreal 5.3 you can now use tesselation and displacement for the landscape so no need to place gravel/stone objects on the ground by hand anymore!

very good, I only need to learn all that tools individually so i can do a similar ...

The KZfaq algorithm always knows what I need to see. This video is excellent.

wow!!!

Wow!!! 😊

How many FPS do you really get in a scene with this level of detail? Are you using nanite to help with performance? And how large in filesize is this scene, if exported into a playable state?

awesome video and efforts ! Can you teach us ? please

you have a very power computer 👍

I literally went this 😃😃 to 😵‍💫😵‍💫 So complicated...it is

Maybe I'm missing it , but I didn't see when the blockout walls became moutains? Can someone explain how he went about this? Did he replace the walls piece by piece? Did he just swap and scale the mehses?

I really appreciate the hard work

This Level is a Peace of Art. Must be fun to Play it.

Don't get me wrong .. but what's the name of the BGM?.. I really liked it ..

Help pls. When I click Landscape mode, I have nothing on the left side when landscape settings should open, idk how to fix this problem 😅

I hope that UE adds a lighting option called Minimal Lighting that illuminates the entire level with a weak light. This would be effective for designers to see shapes and colours better while positioning details. The hard shadows of the Lumen lighting makes it hard to see some things. So does turning off the lighting physics. That Minimal Lighting option would fix that.

Man, that is absolutely sick. You need to make some videos on how materials is setted up, and those sky clouds setups. Subscripted and wait:)

This is great! Been feeling increasingly inspired to start doing landscape/environment art design like this, but a little intimidated by additional software beyond free UE. Are Zbrush and other programs you use essential and/or expensive?

So question i am working Unity buuuttt in theory i want to make assets like this may not a super reasltic ply wise and almost pixel or low res textures for my game. Its on an island and i having trouble figuring out what environment models i need to create and shape the island. There is also a volcano and a village in the center of it which is hard to do cause inwant realstic mountain rocky terrain but i use a tool or asset that shapes the terrain i can carve out out the middle for the village. Idk if you can help please.

step by step tutorial??? i love it

You did the impossible, you made that look easy. ❤

What did you do when everything got switched around at 4:52?

wow! i don't know what can i say

7.8/10, too much water. Nah just kidding, that was great to watch. You showcased so many different skills in one video!
