Take a break from the heat with some of our favorite environment art from June 2020.
Asim Salam – Ochaya | Japanese Tea House | Unreal Engine
In “Ochaya,” the beauty of nature, a serene architectural centerpiece, effective sound design, and thoughtful video editing work together to create this soothing cinematic. As day shifts to night, it reminds us of the importance of a properly tuned lightmap, especially when using Lightmass in UE4.
Quentin Mourier – DEMOREEL 06.2020
Fast-paced cuts around a dense jungle, sound design that puts you in the driver’s seat, and a seamless transition into the breakdown: Quentin Mourier’s demo reel is an adventurous introduction to their abilities. Add vines to your jungle environment’s vegetation with Adrien Lambert’s vine generating tutorial.
Jonatan Ersarp – Windmill Environment | UE4
This enchanting stylized environment consists of deceptively simple assets, well-designed real-time lighting and effects. Achieve similar canopies on your trees by using shape control or mesh forces.
Denis Guchev – Northern Shelter
Architectural visualization gives clients and architects an opportunity to imagine their project in the context of their location. Denis Guchev’s “Northern Shelter,” is immersed in the simple beauty of Norway’s nature, with deer splashing in the water toward the dramatic backdrop of mountains and pines. Like the pines here, you can cut your render time by fine-tuning LODs for trees in the distance.
Andre Salviato – Stylized Trees
When we were notified of a new post on our forums we were unprepared for the playfully rigged and animated trees inspired by the artwork of Sebastian Luca. These trees pack a lot of personality and showcase Salviato’s ingenuity and knowledge. Create stylized trunks of your own with our hand drawing tool!
Start your next project with trees inspired by June’s top 5!
Pignut Hickory
(Games)
The tiered branches and tall silhouette of the trees outside of Asim Salman’s, “Ochaya” remind us of our Pignut Hickory.
Hiba Arborvitae Cedar
(Cinema)
With a silhouette resembling those found in “Northern Shelter” and foliage that is beautiful close-up, our Hiba Arborvitae can improve your landscape, near and far.
Alien Stalk
(Cinema)
The stylized trees of Andre Salviato remind us of our alien stalks. It doesn’t have to exist for you to create it; test what you can bring to life with our procedural modeling tools!
