Achieve a chilling atmosphere Once the lighting
04 is set up in your scene and you’re happy with how it
not only looks but feels, it’s time to then move on to nailing the
atmosphere you are trying to portray. You can achieve this by
using Unreal Engine’s Exponential Height Fog, which allows you
to quickly create a chilling atmospheric composition while also
leading the viewer’s eye. Start by adjusting the overall fog
density followed by adjusting the overall fog opacity. You can
also use directional in-scattering, which helps to blend the fog
with the scene’s lighting setup.
Include your materials/assets Once you’re
05 content with the overall lighting and atmospheric
setup, you should then begin to replace the overall block out
with modular wall, floor and roof sections, followed by the
assets that were created for the scene. It’s important to
remember that when creating assets for a game engine, TRIS
count is very important. Always remember that any assets in a
scene that do not move – such as static meshes – should
always be optimised. You can achieve this by deleting polygon
faces that are not visible to the player. This saves TRIS count
and overall UV texturing space.
Capture environment reflections This stage is a
06 crucial part of the environment creation process. This
stage allows you to achieve realistic reflections within an
environment and it also helps the game engine calculate how
the glossy reflections should appear within the environment. In
technical terms, the Reflection Capture actor provides indirect
specular. We get direct specular through analytical lighting, but
that provides reflections in a few bright directions. Indirect
specular allows all parts of the scene to reflect on all other
parts, which is important when you feature materials like metal
that have no diffuse response and rely solely on secularity
when using PBR shaders.
