Awesome as always !

Thanks so much for doing this, can’t wait to watch, learn and experiment.

Went through it all, learnt lots of good stuff. Wish you explained the UV scale sub graph, you mentioned that's for another video? Wasn't sure what the intention was as it's broken up by floor, walls and trims. Interesting. For now I will just plug in a UV tiling/offset node with a global parameter for scale.

[@TKEnvironments]

It's the same one used in the TK_Tools in Unreal. The reason it's broken up in different sections is because U Vs are 2d. So when you scale a floor piece, you need to scale different U V values, than you have on a wall piece for example. The code is very simple, it just takes an Object - Transform and multiplies that value by the UV. So if an object is scaled 2 times, the UVs will scale 2 times as well.

Amazing, thank you so much Thiago! Any chance you will add these files to the course?

[@TKEnvironments]

Sounds good, I was procrastinating until I had the TK_Tools Unity version "perfect", but I think they are good enough now. Will do very soon :)

Mais um excelente tutorial! Adquiri o seu Environment Art Mastery e estou amando aquilo lá, obrigado por compartilhar o conhecimento. Tenho um bom conhecimento de Unreal mas no estúdio que trabalho, usam a Unity. Então, tenho que transportar todo conhecimento de uma engine para outra e as vezes esbarro nas nomenclaturas diferentes. Essa sua série tem sido uma mão na roda pra mim. Agora, isso foi jogo baixo hein, tenho que esperar o próximo vídeo pra saber sobre o grupo de UV Scaling, heheh, brincadeira.

[@TKEnvironments]

Opa que bom mano! Eu quero adicionar uns capitulos em breve mostrando algumas diferenças importantes entre Unity e Unreal, mas no geral, sao bem compativeis mesmo. Abs!

Hi man, great tutorial! What texel density on this project?

[@TKEnvironments]

@@andrewalexart hey! 1024 for 4m, but Id recommend 2048 for 4m now

[@andrewalexart]

@@TKEnvironments Thank you!

Professor, o que significa o "#4" no fim do título? As outras partes estão em algum outro lugar por exemplo, no environmentartmastery, ou é uma playlist que está oculta? Acompanhei o seu curso para a criação desse ambiente na unreal enquanto uso a unity + blender e foi muito legal acompanhar, apesar das diferenças principalmente na iluminação. Sabendo agora que você está transformando o ambiente para a Unity me deixa muito ansioso para aprimorar ainda mais as lacunas que senti dificuldade.

[@TKEnvironments]

Massa demais saber que vc conseguiu acompanhar com a Unity! O 4 é só uma serie aqui no canal, tem uma playlist com os outros 3 :)

Looks cool. I haven't seen one Artstation page using unity to display their art. I watched it all the way through though, and unfortunately its not easy for me, to convert this in to an unreal material. I personally like Ben Clowards approach of making the shader in unity and unreal, therefore not eliminating any audience. All that being said, its looking really nice man 👍

[@TKEnvironments]

I actually wanted to build the shader from scratch when making the video, but I didn't have time for that. Showing the finished shader like this is definitely a bit harder to understand, but also forces the viewer to fill the gaps and make his own. In a way it's an easier way to actually learn something, than just following steps one by one without really understanding what the steps are :) Unreal is just a lot more artist friendly in the beginning, so I understand why very few people would use Unity for a personal scene. Unless one is planning to actually make a game, and have other reasons, Unreal is just easier to get started and have something that looks acceptable.

[@DeputyChiefWhip]

Yeah cool, the other thing i would say is that unity shader graph because of its lack of contrast between its nodes and that straight wiring is really difficult to read on a video. Anyway, these are just suggestions mate, no hate here.

Estou inspirado em aprender mais desse mundo de envoriment. Eu tenho uma dúvida, e uma sujestão de vídeo, minha dúvida é como exporta os props da ferramenta 3d para engine. E a sujestão de vídeo é, uma live mostrando todo seu workflow e respondendo perguntas.

[@TKEnvironments]

Fala Bacana! No environment art mastery eu demonstro exatamente isso. Como eu configuro as ferramentas pra exportar para a engine com 1 click :) A ideia de fazer lives está na minha cabeça sim, é algo que quero começar a fazer em breve! abs

[@TomLis-u3o]

thank you for the tutorial. game engines should make this easier, it looks like such a simple thing to do, adding some additional color or wear on material...
