UE4 - Project: Star Bounty - L02B

Polycount thread progress: https://polycount.com/discussion/207840/wip-ue4-project-star-bounty/p1

Used to be a day time scene but changed to a more dusky purple as I wanted to challenge myself out of my comfort zone on scenarios without too much sun light and to practice using spotlight / pointlight controls in this scene. The colour were quite fun to tweak when it all started coming along, partly along the way I think I wanted it to look almost like a concept art painting and left stark but still somewhat harmonious colour tones from the green to blue to purple hues.

Testing with Manouk Manoukian's character.

I have a much more higher res gif at the polycount thread for better viewing!

Tessellation off / 0

High to Lowpoly bake in substance painter and texturing.

Zbrush highpoly sculpt, I spent the weekend of 3 days to create this and put it into the scene.

Tessellation on. Inside Substance Designer.

Learnt this sand material from an online tutorial video and utilized it wtih my other shaders in the scene.

Though better used in the other levels, I learnt this method quite late where I could select meshes and turn them into a blueprint class to better move and rotate in the scene while making easy changes in the blueprint to update.

Me playing around in substance painter to export out emissive, I should probably export out several different emissives for more control or a mask in the future~
