Would love to see more mansion and/or library design. I used to use Unreal 3 a bit but my architecture class only allows 4. I think your channel, maverick and Unreal environments speed level design are the only channels in my history feed for the past month lol.
I've been reviewing this masterpiece 7 times already and can I ask a question? Where did you get all the models and assets for this mansion? and are you still working on Unreal Engine 4?? I am the same FireBird Games who wrote to you 8 months ago, remember?)
Ah yes I remember you :D All models and assets were made by me! I'm using Unreal Engine 5 for some personal stuff, but it's a lot of Frostbite at work. :)
@@joelzakrisson It's cool, what are you working on at the moment? I'm interested to know, This is not an interrogation or an interview, I'm just pleased to talk to a very talented artist and modeller)
@@antonellasacrezzion9088 Hopefully I can show it soon... it's a more vegetation focused scene, but still with some hard surface in there. ;) Have done so much architecture in the past so trying something different. At work I'm working on the Dead Space remake, which is also tons of fun!
@@joelzakrisson ok, you have a very unique approach to lighting, I wonder how you make it look so beautiful, including me, I really liked the idea with purple - pinkish shades of the post process, can I take this idea?
@@antonellasacrezzion9088 Yeah I often incorporate some magenta into my colors, and did it especially here. Feel free to use it yourself, it's just a lighting/grading approach! :D
I love this so much, thanks for sharing. It must be the 100th time I'm looking at this piece. Each time I feel like I'm learning something new and I get motivated to keep practicing :)
Glad that you care, but feel guilty at the same time hehe! Been working quite a lot the past years, but most of it has poured into Battlefront II and a bit of Battlefield V. Judging from your channel, maybe you don't mind? :D But yeah, need to change that moving forward, even if I don't regret what I got into those games :) If you're wondering what I've been up to: 80.lv/articles/001agt-dice-behind-the-art-of-battlefield-and-battlefront/ Latest battlefront work will be posted as soon as it's Lucas approved
@@joelzakrisson @Joel Zakrisson Holy crap I didn't know u worked at Dice 0_0 Wish I could make more fun in BF1 videos before my old PC died. After my boss approves of funds being used to buy/build an new PCs for my editing team in my spare time I'm gonna get into map/level design in Unreal 4/5. (I never rlly got into bf5 after the whole community split over what the Exec said about historical inclusion over accuracy. I want to make more videos within the next 7-13 months though) Well, once the next project wraps up I hope u create something fantastic before diving into work again. :)
Good to see another highly modulated asset pack available for rapid prototyping. Have to buy this just for the nice, archviz like props it appears. Would be nice to consider the Hats with PhysX cloth enabled.
I'm using grid snapping. If you look up to the right of the viewport there's a button with a grid that you need to click. But you also need to adapt all of your assets after the grid, so they're using correct meter measurements (1m, 2m, 1.5m and such). You can check out my friend Jessica's tutorial for more info :) www.artstation.com/artwork/YaV23b
Here :) www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/mansion-hall Or if you're wondering how I made them? All walls were textured in Substance 3D Painter, and the floor was found somewhere online and edited in Photoshop (generated the normal map with NDO I think, was a while ago).
@@firebirdgames4142 The floor was found and edited in Photoshop, but everything else was done by myself. Or used some wood pictures as overlay over my own wood for pillars and such too, you can read more here: 80.lv/articles/joel-zakrisson-creating-contrasting-moods-in-ue4/
Snap to the grid in the top right of your view window, you can adjust the units of how things snap together. Also, using the end key will snap down to the nearest floor collision etc
Absolutely incredible, would I be able to see your lighting setup for this possibly? I love it, I'm a student games artist and I'd love to see how you've achieved this!
Hi, I don't know anything about unreal so i hope this is not an annoyingly naive question, but how did you get the wooden floor textures to not repeat and expand instead (or so it seems) when you copied more of the piece? I'm building a modular set and that's a big concern for me right now
Hey! I made a shader that looks like this: drive.google.com/open?id=1WG86JClAY4nKuSZ5ki8zTpLMxxast9Qn (since it's on drive it might be removed in the future, just if any future person would be looking for it ^^)
Hi. I m pretty new to Unreal 4. Really interested in your product here. . Just a quick question how do you set up the light in the scene in this video to be beautiful? I started ue4 and the lighting looks all bright up and kinda uninspiring. Do you include light setups in your modular set? Also is it possible to change any mesh's texture to other material via substance or even quixel? Thanks!
Hi! The lighting is pretty much cool and warm point lights with one strong cool directional light coming from the window. But the trick to make it look good is fancy grading, so lots of tweaks in post process. :) Here's an article about how it was made: 80.lv/articles/joel-zakrisson-creating-contrasting-moods-in-ue4/ But I include the scene and everything with the project on the marketplace too, so you get the lighting with it! And yeah, you can change the texture. :) Just export the model and take it into the program where you want to tweak it. But I don't include the raw baked normal maps, so you'd have to use the final textures and work on top of those. Can send some raw files if you really want, but will take a bit of effort from my side. ^^
It's really simple in this particular scene, just 3 lights, one warm point light downstairs, one cool upstairs, and a bright cool one behind the window. Most of the effect comes from the post processing, which you can see further down here: 80.lv/articles/joel-zakrisson-creating-contrasting-moods-in-ue4/ But that's from an older Unreal version, you can see all the latest settings if you get the actual project: www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/mansion-hall :)
Joel Zakrisson yeah its possible. Just click the Arrow in the right from settings > Preview Rendering Level > Then Android Vulcan or ES3.1. Then send me a picture from the scene please!^^ Thank you
Awesome! To optimize the level, will you import the meshes into a 3rd party program like Maya or 3ds max and merge the objects? What about the lightmaps in channel 2?
@@chlb0152 sorry. I wasn't clear. It depends on the mesh. I was doing modular pieces and checking the memory (stat memory). In some cases, merged meshes demands a larger lightmap size, dropping the performance, other cases not. Maybe that's the reason most unreal indie games have terrible performance, devs don't test it first. I should delete my question, because I've found the solution already.
@@chlb0152 What?! sorry, I didn't understand what you meant with that. (I suspect you're talking about culling distance at a separated mesh, though). Taking the one single mesh house for an example you gave. If you have a single mesh for that, it will depends on the final platform that you run the game. In a mobile game, this one single mesh house will run and looks fine. For a PC game, not so much. Again, with the one single mesh house example you gave. It depends if the player can enter or not in the house. It depends on the purpose of the mesh (I'm migrating from UDK to Unreal 4. It has new tools, but with a similar process). But you're right. My question for the video owner wasn't good. I should be specific and give a context to Joel Zakrisson.
Sorry for the late reply, didn't get any notification. It's set to "complete project" since "add to project" ruins some of the settings for the scene it comes with. But you should still be able to migrate or just copy paste the assets to your project? Lots of other people who've done it.

You should still be able to export the asset as an fbx from within unreal right? Of course, the mesh would be triangulated but it'd still be usable.

You can set up world tiling materials in UE4 in order to get these clean tiling results illustrateted so nicely here :)
