Post Apocalyptic City - Unreal Engine 5 (2.0 update)

[@Danta1ion]

Those things altogether ONLY 100 US dollar??? Thank you very much. This is the scene I wanted to make in my whole life.

[@IndyStry]

Dude you are genuinely making a masterpiece with these upgrades. So hard to wrap your mind around a customizable blueprint like the size of those skyscrapers which have interiors and can be populated with more assets. Takes regular carboard cutout buildings from most games and turns it into a truly immersive experience if the player can go inside each building. Keep up the good work bro!

[@KimmoKaunela]

Thanks! It took a way too much time and effort to built these systems but I hope they will help people to create levels.

[@IndyStry]

@@KimmoKaunela 100 percent!! You are single handedly helping people make Last of Us quality games in quarter of the time. Don't forget to keep pushing the visual quality/realism as much as you are pushing the technical blueprint aspects and your assets will even start rivaling Last of Us 2 quality which is a pretty high bar to cross.

@@KimmoKaunela I'm retired now but this has inspired me to get back to programming. Unfortunately I have a medical condition with my hands so I'm having to use ai to do my art and sound as well as all the coding but I'm really having fun now using ue5. 👍

[@KimmoKaunela]

@@Fightingturtle404 It's good that the AI can help you with that. Unreal can be a lot of fun!

Are you aware that what you're doing is amazing? Great work

[@KimmoKaunela]

Hahah, thanks! I appreciate that!

[@DarkTowerInt]

Seems the best tech art in a marketplace asset. Very cool!

[@KimmoKaunela]

Thanks!

[@DarkTowerInt]

@@KimmoKaunela You have something similar planned in medieval style?

[@KimmoKaunela]

@@DarkTowerInt At the moment my time and resources are too limited for that unfortunately but it would be interesting to do something similar with that style too.

[@jasmyn1258]

Yay, an update!! =D Thanks for all of your hard work!! It's very appreciated! Edit: Wow!! You can drive now!

[@KimmoKaunela]

Yep, vehicle system got a big update too. Cars have more detailed materials, more detailed interiors etc..

[@RichardTomson]

This is totaly amazing. Im going to buy it as soon i understand more about character skeletons in unreal. Then it will be level design.

[@KimmoKaunela]

Thanks!

[@ZAKOTA.Z]

i just wish i could make things like this but still would be able to go inside the building

[@noobquests3371]

You made my dream possible with this thanks !!

[@KimmoKaunela]

That's awesome to hear!

[@istealpixel7371]

This really looks extremely good. Will you be using PCG in future updates? Ever thought about recording a quick level design video to show off all the possibilities? For beginners like me, this helps extremely in deciding whether to spend money.

[@KimmoKaunela]

Thanks! PCG is something I need to look more into but in theory that would be perfect for this kind of stuff because it works "offline" so the runtime cost is much lower compared to this one.

[@GarethNN]

Stunning!

[@KimmoKaunela]

Thanks!

[@kuroimae-ashihorbuch-kanal6537]

This is just awesome! Are the objects you paste done by yourself or is there a kind of "pool" for that?

[@KimmoKaunela]

Thanks! Yes, I did all of them.

[@KhayalJalilov]

Amazing 😍

[@KimmoKaunela]

Thanks!

[@DodgerEcho]

I bought your asset for my game. Thank you for the great product! Are there any video tutorials on it?

[@KimmoKaunela]

Thanks for getting the pack! I made this video tutorial a while back kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpaQeGd3ls2srJo I would also suggest to check the documentation that covers lots of various aspects of this pack: docs.google.com/document/d/1bWTLosM2wOUU5qi4G-ErtDPPcDMb606ZlpKUH6LQEUA/edit?usp=sharing

[@anbusmoke2451]

name of the song??????

[@Neuraesthetic]

was the customization a part of the blueprint? you seem to be able to manipulate the road with such ease.

[@KimmoKaunela]

Yes, this project contains lots of blueprints that can generate diffrent results and automate lots of things. Roads are using the Landscape spline system and bridges are using my custom spline logic.

[@breadop67]

All working now! One more question how you do the no foilage thing on the buildings at 0:09?

[@KimmoKaunela]

Okay good! If you select the building blueprint and find "Scattering" category in the Details panel, you will find an option called "Allow Walls Scattering". That will control if it will scatter something on walls. If you want to control the moss texture then you can open the "Apperance" category in the same panel and change "Ground Dust Amount".

[@breadop67]

@@KimmoKaunela Ah nice ok! Thank you very much! I love seeing the process for this asset since I bought it pretty much when it released and to see it now with all this stuff and costing 120 it's pretty cool, so well done!

[@cirnofumo7352]

Hey, the work you're doing is seriously amazing. I wanted to ask for the procedurals are you using purely UE5 blueprints or utilizing something like houdini? I'd be very interested in knowing.

[@KimmoKaunela]

Thanks! I only use blueprints. I know that UE5 has pcg tools but I haven't played with them yet.

[@ev1liciousss]

Hey, what's the name of the song?

[@RexaZii]

Thanks great stuff!! Can I use these in my game that am gonna sell?

[@KimmoKaunela]

Thanks! Yes, you can use these assets in a commercial project like games and such.

If I buy the mega pack in epic, what license do you grant?

[@KimmoKaunela]

This is what the Marketplace license contains: "Besides using them for learning, experimenting, or prototyping, you may use Marketplace products in your own shipped products. However, you can’t sell or sublicense Marketplace content to other developers for use in their products, e.g. via website or ecommerce mechanism built into a 3D development tool."

[@jono56667]

is everything shown in this available? like the driving and the drone or are they separate packs?

[@KimmoKaunela]

Hi! Everything is included into the Post Apocalyptic City pack.

Are the big buildings enterable?

Yes, it's possible to enter into buldings.

I want to use this to create a movie, are the animation and other assets easily useable in sequencer?

[@KimmoKaunela]

If you know how to use Unreal then you should be able to use this project and environment too. Everything that you can see here is included with the product.

[@lilylikesherpotato3461]

@@KimmoKaunela ok, thanks... I can figure it out

[@breadop67]

Hi there, I added this to my project and it just didn't work at all. Nothing is changed it's exactly the same. How would I fix at all?

[@KimmoKaunela]

Hi! The latest update 2.0 is only available for Unreal Engine 5.1 and up because it's using features that are not fully done/functional in older engine versions unfortunately. That also means that 2.0 version is not 100% backward compatible with older versions of this pack. Updated pack is now around 5,9 Gigs due to all the changes, better textures and additional assets. If you wish to update your existing version of this pack, it is highly recommended to clear your Vault Cache and then add it into a UE 5.1 project. You can read more about that in the updated documentation too ( docs.google.com/document/d/1bWTLosM2wOUU5qi4G-ErtDPPcDMb606ZlpKUH6LQEUA/edit?usp=sharing ).

@@KimmoKaunela LandscapeStreamingProxy "DIFFERENT CODES" please make sure to load the level containing the parent landscape actor prior to game/postcity/maps/exampleworld01 so that data deprecation can be performed adequately.

[@andrevitor7683]

I would like to know how to change so that my character I created can have interactions, such as opening doors and going up stairs?

[@KimmoKaunela]

Interactions are using a blueprint interface. You can check the BP_ExamplePlayer that comes with this pack how it implements those and you can also read more about in the pack documentation docs.google.com/document/d/1bWTLosM2wOUU5qi4G-ErtDPPcDMb606ZlpKUH6LQEUA/edit#heading=h.4u8us5qx34em

im pretty new to game creation and i just started a vr project and wanted to know if it can be made to work with vr ?

Hi! I don't currently have any VR device that I could use to test this but I think this project or the example level might be too complex for VR.

We really need a naughtydog for PC and you definitely got the art down.

[@MaxStudioCG2023]

just bought the city pack (loading the demo map CPU load 100% ,RAM load 80% ) my cpu i7 11800 (8 cores 12processes) RAM 32 Gb video GTX 3060 lol :)))) what CPU i need for this :)))

[@KimmoKaunela]

Loading will use lots of power because it needs to build distance fields, mesh cards, compile shaders, prepare texture data etc... After that you should be able to run it fine. I'm using a much older and weaker system. I'm running i7-4820K, 16GB RAM and GTX1080Ti.

[@MaxStudioCG2023]

@@KimmoKaunela yup it runs smood after load ...all tough i saw some small houses in the video that i didnt find thrm mabe i need to search more in folders ...anyways nice pack ....will be nice for further updates to add more interior on the big buildings mabe stairs on all we can custom interiors ofcource but make them all accesibles to get inside (and mabe more diffrent buildings) :p

[@DavidNGoodman]

Is there a quick way to have a non-nanite version in UE5.2 without having to open in UE4, switch the engine version to 5.2 and hope it all works?

[@KimmoKaunela]

Easiest way would be to open Project Settings and disable Nanite and restart the editor. After that it will use fallback meshes so meshes that will use regular LODs. Obviously those meshes can look different because Unreal needs to decimate them a lot.

[@DavidNGoodman]

@@KimmoKaunela Sure that would work to downgrade the UE5 scene to non-nanite. The UE4 version isn't nanite though so should have better LODs right?

[@KimmoKaunela]

@@DavidNGoodman UE4 version is still using Unreal generated LODs but the actual meshes are much more low poly to beging with. Latest UE5 version of this map is using much more detailed meshes and textures compared to UE4 version. The biggest issue with regular LODs in UE5 is the actual LOD transitions that can look quite bad no matter how good the actual LOD looks like.

[@DavidNGoodman]

@@KimmoKaunela Okay, makes sense. Thanks for the input. Nice pack, I'm planning to get it
