Photogrammetry Content in Modular Level Design - Unreal Fest Europe 2018 - Unreal Engine
Explore photogrammetry content creation for modular level design in Unreal Engine 4 through this Unreal Fest Europe 2018 presentation. Delve into The Farm 51 studio's experiences, challenges, and solutions when incorporating photogrammetry into game development workflows. Learn valuable tips and tricks for effective implementation, including research, concept development, location planning, and whitebox modeling based on rough scans. Discover techniques for handling various scenarios such as natural outdoor environments, building elevations, and interior designs. Examine the complexities of tile-able elevation modules, scanned whiteboxes, and the potential disappearance of objects during the work process. Address issues related to accessibility, weather conditions, and obtaining necessary permissions. Explore delighting techniques, both physical and post-processing, and understand the importance of modular corridor design for seamless level connectivity. Gain insights into reworking player paths and re-arranging original location layouts to optimize gameplay experience. Witness the application of these techniques in two Unreal Engine-based projects that utilized photogrammetry as their primary art creation method. Read more
