A Quick Creepy Forest Environment In UE4

This one took about 3 hours to make from start to finish. Hope you all enjoy.
I forgot to enable tessellation at the end of the video too so be sure to check out the final render here: i.imgur.com/ZeL...
Soundtrack is from the film Psycho.

Minecraft looks better than No Man's Sky.

[@MegaDobrich]

you have a new subscriber. This is bloody awesome. And you even showed material setup and blending. Watching it at .25 speed. Thank you very much xD

[@Tayoooomy]

one word: AMAZING!!

[@sulev111]

the tessellation gives it so much more realism, wow

[@cuongdarma1689]

It's really nice and it would be even better if you can take the character for a walk around at the final result.

[@DunDudeBossman]

You Can

[@alexmorgan2334]

DunDude Bossman he means in the video

[@adriatical9016]

[@FireballVFX]

extra like for psycho track and editing style : D

[@TechnoReverseChannel]

I played this piece in orchestra. Soooo goood

[@madalinradion]

Would have been so cool if some of the forests in witcher 3 would have looked like this,it would have helped with the ambient a lot

[@DaveMicrowavesGames]

Damn, this looks like it came straight from a horror movie. I think I'm gonna go watch one.

[@KlimovArtem1]

Wow, that's a lot of work! But result is outstanding!

[@Silent_Chief]

I know your video is old but any chance to buy your trees ??long time im looking on the web for a unique style of tree and today i find your awesome video ! That would be for a scene in my futur dystopian horror game

[@slickvic6125]

no man's sky lost 94% of players

[@MrDragos360]

From where I could get some free good assets to start learning doing stuff in UE4 ? I am not good with 3D modelling to make my one and to poor to buy them from market place.

[@arunachalpradesh399]

unreal engine 4 better than unity 5

[@alexmorgan2334]

unreal engine 5 better than everything

[@alexanderalexander3194]

forstbit still more realistic

[@MxCrompli]

paint 3D is better than both

[@Darkness90006]

@@MxCrompli ok boomer

[@ZlotyChannel]

Amazing! You even added the golden proportion! hahaha

[@kamillatocha]

7:00 why did unreal crash ? u can't paint terrain after placing trees ?

[@kevinmartinez8267]

can you please share the project!!!

[@issamaf80]

wher i get to you i want to buy that forest thank

[@lennysmileyface]

What's up with the Fibonacci sequence thing?

[@daniel.montibeller]

That phi touch was nice

[@izvarzone]

How do you make red reflections like these in water?

[@AlwaysDrawing2012]

This was awesome to watch! Thanks!

[@HeyImArt]

Love your creations. I'm having a lot of fun in Unreal Engine, but it's quite overwhelming when you are completing new to this sort of thing. Could you do a few simple lighting / atmosphere tutorials? Would be incredibly helpful!

[@HeyImArt]

Fantastic! Thank you

[@ColeNye]

can i download this i want to make a game but i need a good map

[@danielvutran]

truly a master at workxdfp

[@Ardures]

Amazing skills!

[@breaktheboxgaming7902]

Is there a tree editor in UE4? or was that a plugin?

[@adognamedfrost6669]

The speedtree subscription is worth it if you can afford $20 per month. It can also handle uvs, lightmaps and LODs.

[@danielecafolla5768]

try www.evolved-software.com/treeit/treeit, is free.

[@gusartman6756]

Awesome man i love your work.

[@OliverHollingdale]

link us the project file in UE?

[@jairus793]

Can i ask what did you use for the trees?

[@nicholasthompson1387]

Awesome, I really like your video. This is a great image that is a great example of a creepy forest. I also love the depth and how it draws your eye further in. Would it be alright if I used this image?

[@SiddharthSingh-qf1vh]

I Accidentally removed detail and world settings PANEL CAN U HELP ME WITH THAT

[@Meeltic]

can you upload this and make a photo mode included ?

[@kmslyda4530]

That's a masterpiece👌👏👍 Guck the Mona Lisa, that's a real piece of art

[@mhnoni]

can you upload a video for the final result ? it will be awesome to see it as its possible . A picture is worth a thousand words and a video worth a thousands picture :) , btw really nice work .

[@kokipranesh2007]

What should I study for this? Pls tell me about it

[@badandy1967]

What kept causing UE to crash? Also what was your fix?

[@badandy1967]

Thanks man, that's what I thought but the video goes a little too fast to tell for sure.

[@samuelstarcraft]

Damn good work dude ^^ where did you learn all of this ? texture, Unreal Engine ? ps:did you crack autocad ?

[@samuelstarcraft]

Okok thank your, now i'm learning how to use Unreal engine after that i will probably learn c++.

[@SpcBuni]

Dude, you are amazing!

[@miroslavzderic3192]

Your use of the golden ratio reminds me of my days in nam when w... BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT

[@ChrisKayOfficial]

10 out of 10 would play, if this was an actual horrorgame! I'm thinking like a hyper realistic Slenderman game maybe? :D

[@alexmorgan2334]

good music choice haha

[@ankitpassi]

Umm , Noob Alert here but please anyone can tell me why he used Fibonacci spiral (Golden spiral) for Sun location and other proportions , please respond , thank you !

[@ankitpassi]

It is a mathematical representation of Natural Occurring Phenomenons . I never thought of using it in any way possible . So basically You are using it to control the flow of Contrast from the Sun and such that It feels "random" like Sun but still the Sunlight flows seamlessly from User's Perspective. I love how you used it though , Can't say for others but It really strikes out for me , Saw Many Speedlevels but never saw anyone using this . Can you please Link me more designs which in any way uses Fibonacci Spiral, I think I'm gonna use it in my levels . Awesome Work , Thank you for Clear Explanation!

[@fraydizs7302]

link/list of assets used?

[@luisrestrepo5692]

Fantástico, me imagino que era un proyecto muy largo, realmente muy, muy buenas, felicitaciones

[@EmergencyL0tion]

Halo CE 343 guilty sparks mission has the creepiest forest by far

[@samrichards6045]

truly inspired, could you achieve this result for an actual game or does it use too much memory? I am making a horror at the moment and this is perfect!

[@samrichards6045]

also is the foliage pack you've used able to be used commercially for free?

[@samrichards6045]

massive thanks for the quick response, you earned a sub :)

[@conficker130]

Was this made using standard assets?

[@conficker130]

Ehh, that seems like a lot more work than i'm willing to put forth... It looks professional though. Good job.

[@kyledavis8056]

Sooo epic man :) Thanks for this

[@POWER_48]

Have you got the project now

[@ClaudiaShifferLA]

how many years are you working with Unreal?

[@Sorcerer99]

Superb dude! May I ask what beast pc you made this on?

[@Sorcerer99]

So that's why it took you 3 hours ;-) Really nice work! You should apply at a game studio or something

[@Sorcerer99]

That sounds like a good idea. Are you going to release these indie games eventually?

[@Sorcerer99]

***** That looks very cool. Actually, this summer I've been to Normandy and I learned a lot of things about D-Day. That's what the game is about, right?

[@Sorcerer99]

***** Great setting for a game!

[@ManguPapi]

This is scary amazing.

[@auricapumndefier]

That's AMAZING!!!!!!

[@StelznerGaming]

1:03, that a Fibonacci spiral i spot !?

[@wolfulusss]

Loved the golden ratio thing. :D

[@TheBlackbirdii]

does any body knows where to get giant tree like this

[@RahulKumar-if9wt]

the speedtree

[@jackfisher22]

Brilliant..!

[@drdeutschland3956]

How does Unreal handle so many objects like that

[@arijeetbhattacharya9787]

one might say it's unreal

[@izvarzone]

instances and LODs

[@pramilapais6442]

But anyways it was really really amazing

[@DiscodudeDan]

define quick

[@kingskye7110]

as a newcommer,find it's hard to leaning...

[@mrnomore]

Wind but no waves. Too much gloss on the ground but not enough color information

[@Kinos141]

Looks good. Can I play it?

[@lovebigboobs5005]

wow. awesome

Good work :D

[@playonce4186]

That lagged very hard at the end

[@defectivenull]

can i get this?

[@brycewakefield6565]

Clarity if your computer can run it sure

[@user-qo7gg4jw2e]

Deadline is coming!

[@josiesaturday9479]

bravo!

[@everest.5187]

you are the best :D maybe you will make a short tutorial about that , anyway your forest is amazing :D

[@jddrawz]

That would be awesome.

[@Haruyuki_Art]

awesome!!!!!!

[@JoshuaWilsonNZ]

mega awesome broham

[@thebohemiancowboy2805]

Sweet

[@chrislee2046]

I hope there is a killer coming out from the woods lol

[@aaronaguirre6714]

It just seems a bit, flat. Great work though!

[@danielvutran]

ILY!! xdfp

[@leonwilliam2028]

boss

[@armandozertuche4054]

Cries because im never gonna learn how to use this and then im never gonna make my game lol

[@mene1in]

That's up to you.

[@guilleacq]

You should work for Dead by Daylight lmao

[@vincentv2119]

It is too difficult for most)

[@vincentv2119]

+JackX570 , Continues to make videos please. I do not fully understand English, but it is interesting to watch )

[@ALSPEHEIR]

It's kind of funny to see you doing all this in just 3 hours. Them why the hell it takes a triple A company to get the same result about 3 or o years? Dude, stop making these and go make your own game. You gonna be rich!

[@ALSPEHEIR]

***** Thanks for the reply. I didn't knew that games where so complicated since the big companies usually have an army of programmers, 3D model artists and so on. That should in theory, speed up the process. Anyway, saw your game and looks awesome. Just a question: if you are making that game alone, why don't you make a game that the story makes you "re-use" the same enviroment again and again? Just look at that game that was the teaser for the cancelled Silent Hill. It was just a simple house. Maybe a small island with a cabin in the middle is all you need for a good game while not having to loose too much time modeling it.

[@ALSPEHEIR]

***** Good luck with your game, mate. Thought it looks gorgeous, a good story is always more important than graphics. So if you are in doubt if you should add more backstory or loose time trying to make that dust even more realistic, I tell you, forget the dust. A good story is all you need. Everything else is a bonus. And congratulations for your amazing work!

[@pramilapais6442]

Bro could u not do it a little slowly
