Thank you so much quixel. I love all your ue4 tutorials so much!!!! Cheers

I didn't know the blend material had the liquid, I was wondering how you guys were doing such nice puddles. Awesome!

[@CinematographyDatabase]

Lovely 🔥

[@R-SXX]

i love the visual storytelling; seems like a neighbour above had an urge to steal a street barricade and then left it on the balcony, which was way to weak tu support the thing... and wam, it crashed down to the street. awesome scene!

[@slimshady8408]

James Lucas sir what a great video and what a great tutorial Thank you so much and keep up the awesome Mr q 😁

This Scene is not plausible at all...The City actually doing something about potholes!? : )

[@TheSurlySoutherner]

Damn dude. You make this look so easy!

[@JayRKID]

So are these scenes with this level of detail OK for game play or are these just for rendering out etc?

[@ZalkDrives]

Next I would love to see you guys work a bit in Unity with its HDRP. Also, you guys should try a Halo-inspired scene! I would LOVE to see a remake of a set piece from Halo CE!

[@lostwithdan4331]

@quixel Love this, but can you or anyone else explain how you went from maya with all that detail and had it in the unreal engine as I am unaware that you could create that in maya and just import it and unreal would create those kinds of shapes or did you just make the shapes in maya as a reference then build the actual build blocks and meshes in unreal engine? I appreciate any info on this.

[@theadnart1]

Hi there! We'll be covering this more in detail in the livestream :)

[@jackj147]

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking, but Unreal Engine is not used to create models or textures. These are imported into Unreal after being created in other programs (Eg: Maya, Blender or 3DS Max for 3D modeling. Quixel or Substance Painter for texturing). The detailed models in this video were imported from Quixel Megascans, which is a library of fully modeled and textured 3D assets. In the most simple term, Unreal Engine is the program that simulates the lighting and physics of a level. Most of the things that populate the level are usually created outside of Unreal Engine.

[@lostwithdan4331]

@@jackj147Aww ok, thanks I really appreciate the info as I am new to unreal engine and The videos I had seen I just assumed they created the designs with the blocks/cubes you can create in unreal and then added textures/meshes to that, but now it makes a lot more sense to create a proper 3d environment in say maya and export that to unreal and use unreal as creating the scene so to speak.

[@lostwithdan4331]

@@theadnart1Great, look forward to the great information.

[@jackj147]

@@lostwithdan4331 Exactly. UE4 has it's own simple blocks (called Geometry Brushes) but these are only used for blocking out levels quickly for play testing. These usually replaced later in production with meshes created and textured elsewhere.

[@CrownKing2499]

Awesome!

[@Raidhonr]

It all looks great. But why did you abandon Unity ? Unity has been updated, you can show new features with HDRP!
