Create a City Street in UE4

In this video, Quixel artist Wiktor Öhman shows you how to quickly create an urban street environment using only Megascans assets. Learn how to rapidly lay the groundwork, how to detail it with decals, scatter and vegetation assets and how to completely transform it to a middle eastern theme as well as a wet, night-time scene using some UE4 scripts and the Quixel Mixer.

YES, i've been waiting for a city tutorial for ages. Fantastics, thanks Quixel, always on top !

[@Xenthorx]

Thank you ! :D

[@looperx]

Where's the city tutorial? This guy built 10 meters of road for 20 minutes in the worst way possible (not in BP, not using static mesh instances). Then loads a completely different thing at the end (probably not done by him at all) and everyone is losing their shit...

[@skysound3928]

It feels like he is working on the Unreal Engine Team because it's been made so professional and and easy to get. It really helps a lot having a tutorial with someone who doesn't just skip word's or forget some things. Keep it up, those are the kinds of tutorials we need more of on KZbin!

It's probably worth mentioning that when you say, 'Hey we built out this epic cyberpunk scene and will cover it in another video' now obligates you to actually cover the entire production of that scene. :P As a user of Megascans, I'd personally love to see it.

Great video. What's the status of that UE4 road blueprint? Also, what version of the engine are you using? When pasting the codes, I have unspecified collection parameters errors.

[@JohnSmith-rn3vl]

I really wanted to see the part 2 for this ... with that bladerunner version of the street.

[@theflaviohoffe]

Hi Quixel guys, Amazing tutorial as always, I have a little suggestion about material. Many people don't have advanced knowledge about material I think that you can add material screenshot it will help so much.

[@theflaviohoffe]

I know this materials are simple, but in my case I have some doubts in Decal Material on Opacity_blend_mask what texture I put there? What is the material setup? Dbuffer Translucent color, normal? That kind of question. I know that explain about material is not the focus of the tutorial I'm just trying to improve understanding of the video.

[@-Almarhum]

Amazing

[@shakaama]

All I was watching for, was for the wet street environment, and that's the last thing you did LOL amazing though.

[@MLLD00]

Aweome stuff Wiktor! have you released the roadbuildning script yet? I can't find it on Marketplace?

[@warrenography]

I don't use Ue4 but I just loved to see how you made the material. very cool. hyva hyva

[@notsogrand2837]

[@Altitudeguy3]

Thanks a lot for the video. Any chance you could explain how to add the decal material in the material editor? I tried pasting the whole script in the material editor but couldn't figure out how to get it to work.

[@bachvarovalexander]

Crazy work! One question: How about curved roads and stretching and skewing of textures especially on the sidewalks. And one idea. You can also add oil, brake trails and tar.

[@quixeltools]

The script handles curves as well with minimal stretching :) Great idea for additional decals, we'll make sure to add a first batch in the next few weeks. Stay tuned.

[@HeinousAnusOG]

Hi Wiktor, I am so excited to begin using these assets and methods in my own project, but, how would the performance cost look for an open world game i.e. much larger environments constructed almost solely from your high quality Megascans assets. Surely I would not be able to keep this level of detail consistent, regardless of the tenacity or pay grade of my content creators! I feel like I would be able to try, but perhaps as a more simple question; is there anything I should keep in mind whilst using a Megascans workflow?

[@HeinousAnusOG]

Also, could you do a tutorial on how you made the roads Blueprint mechanism? Fascinating stuff!

[@cliffianson4146]

Hi Wiktor, can you please tell me what road texture you are using because the ones i have got from Megascans are really different in colour , plus i like the look of the one in this scene. could you also link a screenshot of your material setup as when i paste in the code into the material editor i am not sure what goes where. Thankyou for your great work.

[@RadleyBO0]

Around 13:03 you mentioned recreating a DSLR effect and said you'd put a link in the description below, but I don't see it. I'd love to see that!

[@giovannivisai]

Thanks Wiktor! This is an Amazing work! I have some issue with megascan textures. I have bought several textures from megascan library but it's impossible to fit decals color with asphalt one. I think there ara different texture inside Road Building script. When this script will be avaiable? Let me know. Thanks

[@e-frame5344]

Thank you for the tut. I really liked it. But - the first thought that came to was "is this game ready"? I was taking a look at the tricount only from the gras and that alone had around 1500 or so. Using this street in any sort of open world or sort of open world seems way to expensive from my small amount of experience. Correct me if I´m wrong :)

[@justadictatorridingonanuke3714]

I am guessing that this will work in a game environment as long as you use less decals and small rocks on the road and use different LODs

[@Authersinemascop]

Looks great! I think it's not that much reasonable scenerio if you're going to use such scene in a game. I mean using all these meshes only for a street might not end up a wise decision. But it could be good use of for cinematics or small portion of scene.
