Alone with myself

3D art in a city that burns inside while outside there is jungle and countryside

I have said this many times, but not here.
I left in search of a better life and in order not to languish - I found one.
And I started drawing (doing 3D) between projects.

I took as a basis a demo project from Epic Games, CitySample, and began to actively study how everything is arranged, that a project of such a scale works on a gaming laptop

Having understood the basic principles, I began to mercilessly but with a hint of professionalism, adding a little life and bright colors both during the day and at night.

In general, not finding the boundaries in Unreal Engine 5, I just continued to fill the city with details, plants, lighting design, etc. I also developed the gameplay capabilities by adding parkour, FPVDrone, airplanes, helicopters, parachute

I managed to achieve quite realistic physics for the character itself (by replacing CitySample with GASPALS (Game Animation Sample with Overlay Layering)).

I also messed around with the physics of transport, adding mass and power to some custom cars for

Throughout this project I still haven't figured out if there are any limitations in Unreal Engine? And with each update I only see additions that further expand the boundaries of 3D creativity.

And yet I understand that it is possible to load the system well, I tried to introduce a little of my unusual optimization. For example, on almost all billboards I pulled one material with a video texture. Which allowed to significantly diversify the stre

I also improved the first-person view and added the ability to travel around the city in VR

At the moment, the project, as in the last few years, sometimes starts among empty thoughts, I quickly fly between the streets and already from the viewport I begin to think up corrections and fill this project with some meaning.

Combining several projects into one, the result is quite an impressive scale that is really interesting to explore while in game mode.
