Speed Level Design - The Railroad - Unreal Engine 4

Just doing a bit of moderation here as I understand we all have bad days. That aside, thanks for the feedback and I agree with your assessment. I suppose I just wanted to put most emphasis on the railway and most the time railroads in urban areas are quite flat. I do wish I had better assets or railroads to make something more creative. Regardless, thanks and thank you for your channel which has helped me in the past.

[@Mattscreative]

[@MegumiHayashida]

it's videos like these that made me appreciate environments even more, because you know a bunch of guys/girls as devoted as Maverick spent hours on it. When a game is released, credits often go to the producers or art directors but level designers, devs & concept artists are actually the true MVPs

Aside from the train's relative position, I'm blown away whenever I see these scenes created. The fly-by camera at the end of the video could've been really cool for a video game; maybe have it face away from the city ruins until right at the end, slowing down and turning about to witness the ruins of humanity, the music going quiet aside from the sound of nature, whereupon the main-menu interface fades in with a title card for a post-apocalypse game, bravo!

Could be very dramatic, just a small detail. Just an idea to improve a very little :)

I love your fantastic work. I always find Old unused train tracks mesmerizing to look at. And this scene here does it so beautifully. Now I know you mentioned that there were so much things you could do. But I could not help but notice that the shadows over water under the ruined bridge needs work. It just looks off considering how realistic the rest of the scenes look. Otherwise, just brilliant! Keep it up. Or considering the age of this video, I'm sure you already have.

[@robinsolo1242]

Really impressive and inspirational. I got two questions : Are all the things you placed (grass, trees, road, destroyed roads, trains, ...) included in the software ? Or did you have to purchase them ? And secondly, is it hard to render ? How much time did it take ? Keep it up !

[@isaacd4425]

where did you get those trees/vegetation meshes? would love to find a decent free pack to use myself

[@willscheier6511]

Looking through the FREE section of assets from Quixel Megascans, can see many of the assets are included there, but I haven't found the trees yet. And another video one to watch to see these megascan items even more easily is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKvSimNsZ9CMZ9U ...apparently, if you an UnReal user, you can soon get Quixel's whole library free ....I think.. Please post a reply here if you find the trees first... thxs.

[@hollowverium]

Maverick, awesome job I only have 1 thing to ask, how did that train wind up on THAT side of the traintrack xD

[@Maverick99]

Surprised nobody actually asked me this. A nuclear blast. Only strong enough to push it off the tracks and throw it into the ground. It was a last minute decision. My intention was to keep it on the tracks but I wanted everyone to see the environment past the train so I took it off. It looked a little funny but I justified it in my mind by a blast. I could planned things out a bit better. I badly want to remake this scene. So much I could have done better.

[@wunamon]

Imagine after all this, someone else takes the credit.

[@redcat608]

Just a small peeve of mine: the train fell over but does not look like a natural derailment. If it fell from the right, its undercarriage (wheels) should be facing the tracks. If the train derailed and rolled over twice, the train should look further away from the tracks. The is nothing that gives the story or signs of how this trail derailed appropriately. Some gamers and designers look for these things.

[@JacobHollis96]

redcat608 It's bothering me as well. I just see it as the train was traveling faster than it should have through the curve. Upon doing so it jumps the tracks and lands in the way it's depicted in the scene.
