This is one of the more beautifully presented videos! She took her time to explain everything and at the same time presented it very well. The video definitely goes in my watchlist it has very much information! Big props

[@hannapfngs]

Such a beautiful scene!! Thank you for the insights and the explanations! I was mesmerized throughout the whole video.

[@digitalarthub]

Easily one of the best, if not the best, videos from you! Good microphone, easy to understand and clear explanations of everything.

[@InfectTheWorld]

This is my all time favorite UE video showing off tricks and how to get an end result. Thank you SS and Melissa for the video!

[@Daria-gd8wr]

Such a well-presented video for a beautiful work! Looks so good

[@xRenths]

Really well presented and love the process, as someone who really doesn’t enjoy texturing, made a lot of it seem a bit more simpler. Love it.

[@animalunae]

This is brilliant, I'm completely in love with this, I really need to do more in UE

[@AllenAbbadonia]

Wow... Such a breathtaking scene! The style is something I would love to walk around in just to look at everything. It's really doing something to my artist brain! Absolutely lovely

[@lashghost]

This video was excellent, I really loved the explanation of the water shader and the lighting choices.

[@YanJunGameDev]

It's a fantastic art! Appreciate for sharing the process.

[@bebachkin]

Huge thanks to Melissa for such great stuff. Especially for explaining Material functions nodes❤

[@32mace_]

So kind of you to show us these. Even though I don't try making games anymore, it was amazing to watch

[@shobitchaurasia]

Awesome Shaders! Love the ideation and workflow!! Really well done!

[@heyreefes]

Amazing video. The workflow is explained well and presented well. Amazing work as well

[@JibbSmartGD]

What a fantastic breakdown. Thanks so much, Melissa!

[@caiocabral7504]

Amazing video, thank you, Melissa! I'll be watching this one a lot for inspiration!

[@HaikuTutorials]

This is just incredible! Thank you so much for sharing this content with us!!

[@zarblitz]

This kind of content is gold, IMO. There's loads of videos and documentation and content to learn the technical how-to aspects. What's sorely missing (without going through a formal education or actual industry work experience) is this kind of overview and glimpse into the process from professionals.

[@LevelUpYourFandom]

damn! Melissa is absolutely incredible. i would watch 100 of these videos. and more in depth ones too, the presentation style, cadence of voice, clear knowledge of the engine and substance means this is an instant saved video from me, to refer back to while im learning all this stuff! truly excellent work

[@Skeffles]

This scene looks amazing!

[@JSalesFilm]

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing!

[@o-super2744]

This was delightful ! Thank you so much for such a great content !

[@michaelheath1194]

This was wonderful! Thanks for sharing :)

[@zeddgamedesigner]

Man all the main points i need, Thank you soo much for this...appreciated

[@Dhieen]

wow this is amazing! Makes me want to do another stylised project

[@grygia4399]

The graphics are amazing 😍I would love to play a game with such graphics. Well done 🏆

[@xKeaton]

Very great Breakdown and Beutiful Environment. Thanks for the Video! Would love to see more Breakdowns again

[@luckduvell]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the breakdown this will be useful in my next project

[@MIDIkalimba]

I really liked this painterly stylized look. Thanks for sharing~

[@Reisen_Inaba]

Wow, literally perfect video

[@ascentslight_games]

It look perfect ! good job :)

[@CentaClaus]

This is amazing I'd love to see a more in depth guide, how long did it take to create?

[@egretfx]

Beautiful great work!!!

[@sharky3188]

Great work! Really valuable information here. It would be great to cover a similar topic done within Unity. Since its a bit of a different process it would be great to see more info on that.

[@coffeediction]

Im so happy to see someone also shaping out the general look in 3D and then painting over xD I guess it is not frowned upon as I thought after all.

[@hamzazoudah7040]

İ really like the way she explained everything step by step, she would be a greet tutor

[@timothyreiner9805]

MIND BLOWN

[@tomanski3767]

Really amazing talk! Thank you!

[@AGENTE2_007cmari]

YO that's so cool! I like that. Keep up the good work!

[@blackheartgaming6121]

Getting everything ready for the last week to start the unreal engine again

[@oozly9291]

Wow this is a good walkthrough

[@TheBulax]

Great Work✌️

[@polinaostapenko7377]

Thank you for sharing such useful video! I hope to buy your course in the nearest time, when I will have a little bit more free time after work)

[@ramuuzen]

JUST THE VID I WAS LOOKIN FOR

[@jasonborne238]

I'll definitely be using this style for my ape escape project

[@milansvancara]

Looks good, it needs more bushes in that tree clustering on the left to really make the road pop-up:)

[@KromaGigaNiga]

very well explained

[@pikachufan25]

thank you for the insights, now how can apply this to my next Project hmmm

[@cosmeticfood3139]

I started learning UE5 few days ago and this this was really helpful

[@punpun-ya]

idk anything about any of this but making stuff with water like that is super intriguing!~

[@kalubandali2241]

you should sell that water material, I love it!

[@andorazafy]

Very helpfull video !!

[@Mote.]

It's beautiful

[@brandonjacksoon]

Awesome!

[@user-hi1pd1xr7g]

Amazing!

[@kyrionbookshield2205]

this is very beautiful. :O

[@whetupaitai4153]

I would have sat back and retired from art at the 2 minute mark - This is insanely good!

[@98uiy]

I would love to get a more indepth look at your water shader!!

[@Caporal_Croaporal]

Your videos are amazing

[@pr0_mt]

amazing

[@tintprxy]

Thank you !

[@zayn1172]

cool good work keep up ❤️😁😀👍🏼

[@applenine991]

Excelent video !!! Really

[@praveshkhanal]

Amazing work! At 7:46. That way of creating repeatable models with textures is a great workflow! That is going to improve texel density, performance, and modularity. I am going to start doing that for my work now.

[@HauntedTS13]

What is texel density?

[@ping-536]

@@HauntedTS13 it’s is basically the size of each object in comparison to the space it takes up in t uv plane. you want all your objects to take up the same texel density meaning all the objects take up the amount needed in comparison to their size in 3D. this is not a great explanation it would be advised to look up a video explaining it

[@IKiyumi]

That Part got me wondering, whats the difference in using symmetry while sculpting and not using symmetry? Her sculpting didn't repeat anyways in the model, so why not just sculpt it without symmetry, the tiling will happen anyways when scaling the uvs up, or am I missing something? D:

[@zenithlevi8701]

This was a really beautifully made scene and I loved the video. I have 1 critique though, the water wasn't moving fast enough to make the size of the splash that we saw, and the mill was rotating too fast given the speed of the water. How can we give the water an appearance of a directional flow and change the velocity?

[@manai2683]

Wow this made me want to try out stylized in unreal.

[@NikKelly]

Looks great! Is there any tutorials how to make something like this from scratch?

[@andreoka]

Amazing video

[@Captt95]

Amazing Work, how did you make that leaf falling particle effect?

[@bryangcooper]

world class!

[@skilattutos6696]

Wow ! I really love it ! I start with Unreal Engine in 2018 to become a gamedev and I'm really good right now but when I decide to learn 3D modeling, I didn't think I would like it so much and I even feel like it's easier to make money with it. I really like the artistic side of 3D modeling and it's a lot less hassle. I'm thinking of starting to do modeling and level design, it's so satisfying

[@Mote.]

I would definitely play this game

[@DrShoeman]

wow that water material shader!

[@Kosmos405]

Can u make longer tutorial how make such water step by step? With interactions, would be nice. And need to admit u made great project, fantastic graphic :)

[@iamabird6739]

She's a good teacher

[@Mote.]

I like how she shows what she did

[@timoluetk]

Damn that's so much stuff to know, great job presenting it tho!

[@constantinusbasingse5690]

How do you make single bricks texture in arch and corners?

[@sanketvaria9734]

I am interested in more in water shader. Has she made more tutorial on it?

[@ChaosDragon004]

lol would have loved sonic frontier to adopt this art style. what was sega thinking. This is beautiful !

[@xiakezhao7013]

谢谢

[@Izzieforeva]

I’ll be honest I don’t understand a word that you’re saying but I’m still in awe

[@corruptmfg5212]

Dang Fable 4 is looking great

[@RomasNoreika]

I was looking at this video presentation and her title on arstation - says junior. Yeah right. :D Does not look like a junior :D. Love your creativity the most.

[@pierreseaumaire6988]

BEAUTY

[@giorgiodelillo3031]

"a few things at least that you could take away from it" lol amazing

[@ControllerCrusade121]

I would love an entire tutorial on just stylized water

[@tsuntsun2447]

Me who thought this is Genshin Impact Teapot decoration lmaoo.. nice video though

[@thunderbear0]

Is there any game similar like that graphics? Its beautiful

[@thedragon12]

I really like that. You should try to join Evil Mojo to work on Paladins. It fits their style perfectly

[@floatiez]

Need a water shader tutorial!!

[@GimpyGosling]

I've been focusing on nailing down my 2d skills before going all in on 3d, I am woefully unprepared when it comes to environments, what do you recommend I do to begin training my hand and eye for making environments?

[@SmeeGuitar]

Just start. Your first ones will be shit, but you will get there. Use references, try to build a reall life scene you know and like. Look at the important details that make the scene.

[@lovelovegoodiie837]

สวยมาก👍

[@TipTopAxle]

Exquisite

[@Weird_Quests]

Would you recommend learning and getting better at art to do these concepts - or do you recommend just diving into the engine and your course and start creating worlds?

[@sudanemamimikiki1527]

really ought depend on what exactly you are planning on becoming. if you work in 3d animation studio or at a video gaming studio then you have people who specialize in 2d concept. so in that case you ought focus more on just learning how to do 3d. if you do it on your own then learn how to do concept...

[@morbidmirage726]

Makes me want to play sea if theives

[@EngineerDJ_Julius]

UE5 is nothing short of stunning

[@sokeng9590]

nice

[@Rat_Lord]

how does she make the 'highlight' layers in substance painter?

[@yunus5949]

Is it possbile to do that for mobile games? Or it costs too much in terms of Performance?
