It's pretty sick eh. You got to give props to the environmental artists on this.

[@calebpagan2226]

This has to be the greatest looking environment I’ve ever seen in a video game. It’s stunning.

[@SmartPoly]

I agree!!! The best looking environment sample we've gotten from Epic

Some people have been saying that graphics are not everything, but they just don't understand the depth of immersion such quality brings to a game. Now, the most amazing thing would be if they said that this was made by a single person in a week using a few different PCGs, and then releasing them for us. While I love level design, the time it requires for such level of detail is ridiculous, and working as a solo developer makes want to cry every time I have to reduce the quality just to be able to finish one area... PCGs are amazing for that, but I just can't make good enough configurations on my own (like creating different medieval buildings with adjustable settings, shapes, parts, etc., and then using them on other PCGs to create small settlements or parts of large ones).

[@SmartPoly]

The immersion is crazy. Just wait till you try nanite in VR. The immersion is next level

[@IceDragonsWOM]

Thank you bro for being so quick to respond to new things!

[@SmartPoly]

I have been refreshing fab daily, waiting for this pack to release lol

[@sorenlampe951]

damn this looks amazing! they really need to hire the guys who made this map for fromsoftware 😮

[@HTFGamesStudio]

Is a shame that quixel will soon stop delivering free stuff, they are doing such a quality job.

[@SmartPoly]

I agree. But I think they will still release limited free asset drops next year

[@HTFGamesStudio]

@@SmartPoly I hope you are right

[@Timtowtdi-oop]

The quality job will still be there, it will just come at a cost.

[@AmosMcn]

oh mann this map would be great on a sci-fi horror game

[@SleepySideshow]

Is your course c++ or just blueprint? I bought your course but havent started it yet or looked into it. im waiting till after i finish my intermediate c++ classes to start your course.

[@SmartPoly]

its solely blueprints, but some students have been following along in C++ instead

[@SleepySideshow]

@@SmartPolyi assumed it would be blueprints which is okay since i need to learn blueprint anyways, ill probably follow along in c++ while educating myself on blueprints, thanks man

[@andynonimuss6298]

Super cool!

[@ligiao2989]

hi smartpoly, i want to know when will the survival game based on ue5.4 be finished? i cant wait to learn.😘

[@SmartPoly]

have you enrolled in the course? you should be able to see the lecture progress

[@ligiao2989]

@@SmartPoly I am hesitant to enroll because I don't know when the course could be finished.can you give me an approximate time？

[@sinistera1634]

Do you know which water system they have used for this project? I am currently making good progress on your course but still not sure which water system to go with.

[@SmartPoly]

pretty sure they use a simple water plane material

[@awaite1]

I'd like to play around with the Unreal Engine but I won't have time until later next year. Are the assets always going to be free or is this a time limited thing?

[@SmartPoly]

not sure but I would go to fab website and claim it now

[@drinkwwwaterrr]

How's the performance on your pc?

[@SmartPoly]

pretty well, but some stuttering when loading parts of the map

[@Alternatywny_1]

How does this work legally? Can I use a 1:1 map in my game, sell it on Steam for, say, $20, and not have to pay anyone or worry about anyone having issues with me using such a map?

[@SmartPoly]

pretty much

[@nyomanbandarayani6830]

You can use it for your game developer portfolio but you can't use it in commercial project, it is under Standard License on FAB

[@AL3XG8]

@@nyomanbandarayani6830 If you use an asset under the standard license, you can sell a game with the assets. you just can't distribute or sell the assets themselves

[@mansegamestudios]

@@nyomanbandarayani6830 This is incorrect. The standard license grants the ability to distribute in rendered, linear content as is (videos or images) or through distributed projects under the caveat that the resources must be restricted to the level that they cannot be extracted outside of the project's intended use. So, in short if you wanted to include this in your own asset pack then that would break the license agreement but if you include it in your game or render a video using it then that is acceptable use. It's the same agreement as before.

[@muerrtee]

Coooooooooool

[@MabelYolanda-c9i]

Ahhhh, it’s not new. It’s been there since the beginning of Fab…..

[@SmartPoly]

this asset pack? nope
