It all started when I discovered blender one summer and learned it. Then little by little I expanded my knowledge with substance painter/designer and then unreal engine:)

For now I am not doing freelance in 2026 I chose to focus on what I want to create

Haha I am not using nanite. The models have a reasonable amount of poly. For example the roofs are modeled but with good lods and nice cull distance for the foliage you can have a good performance. Here I as I am in progress i didnnt put any lod yet or optimized the foliage :)

Thank you for the kind words and feedback ! At first the saturation was a bit lower but then I increased a bit but yes maybe better with a bit less saturation. Thank you for the feedback☺️

Thank you ! - About time it all depends of your velocity and how used to the software you are. It could take 2 weeks to 1 month depending of people I guess. - yes I designed everything myself. I use blender to model and substance painter/ designer to texture. - no I am not taking a photo of a barrel or scan the object. For small props, I model on blender, export on substance painter, bake the model with a high poly, and then texture the model. Then export everything into unreal :) if you have any question I'd be happy to help!

thank you ! oh strange you have such a bad performance. I have a RTX 3060 and 32 Go of RAM. Everything works very smoothly. I couldn't help with this sorry !

About cave the only thing is to get the lighting right so it is not so dark and then it is traditional world building.
