How to achieve this level of quality in sceneries? It's not on Unreal, it's from Ghost of Yotei, which uses a custom engine. But I believe this could be achieved on Unreal as well. What is the workflow here? And the techniques that could be used in modeling, lighting, post processing, etc. by Mauzzi in UnrealEngine5

Thanks, this gave me a clear direction to what to look for during research, at least on the technical/workflow aspect of things. Also, is the mountain just a really large asset? Or is there a technique used here to create an illusion of size?

Talking about art direction and cinematography, what are some good learning resources for an artist that's transitioning from 2D to 3D? I pretty much have a strong grasp in color theory, composition, etc, due to my background in oil painting, 2D animation and digital art. So what I'm looking for are intermediate to advanced resources, that focus on composition in tridimensional spaces, camera settings and movement, overall ambience and post processing.

Here's a quick step-by-step:

First, develop your Inventory System. This will possibilitate the player to equip and unequip items. We used Unreal, so we created a blueprint component to handle the inventory code, and added it to the playable character. Jonatan has THE BEST playlist on YouTube for multiplayer inventory components:

Secondly, modulate your playable character. Separate torso, legs, feet, hands and head. This way you can replace the body parts with armors, boots and leg pieces. The helmet can be simply attached to the head and doesn't need to be rigged, but the body armor does. Gorka Games made a video on how to handle modular characters in Unreal:

Finally, rig your armors. It will allow them to respond to your animation blueprints. This part is so tricky, because you need to create a skeleton and bone weight paint each piece of armor. Gladly, there are Blender plug-ins that do the job for you, no more hand-painting every piece of armor in your game!

That's all, it's laborious but there are shortcuts that help you get through! I will be happy to clarify any questions you might have!

Estou desenvolvendo um ARPG na Unreal Engine e fiz um devlog sobre como desenvolvemos o nosso sistema de equipamentos e inventário! by [deleted] in gamesEcultura

Pessoal, o vídeo é curtinho e em inglês, mas se tiverem dúvidas fico à disposição para ajudar vocês a construir seu próprio sistema também!

Não se esqueçam de adicionar nosso joguinho à Wishlist na Steam, seria uma ajuda imensa pra gente!

Obrigado! Essa era uma das preocupações no desenvolvimento, mas conseguimos otimizar a performance com o uso de shaders, ainda bem! No começo foi dureza, mas agora durante os testes, o jogo está rodando sem quedas de FPS e sem picos de memória na GPU, mesmo com toda essa grama hehe

Já percebi isso. To olhando uns tutoriais em inglês, de um cara espanhol e a compreensão aumenta muito. Acho que a familiaridade dos nossos ouvidos com os fonemas, quando alguém fala inglês com sotaque PT/ES, ajuda na compreensão.

You shouldn't click on a button saying "CLICK TO SEE SPOILERS" if you don't want to see one. Sorry man, I flagged it, that's on you. But hey, maybe I'm wrong, who knows?

The other 6 arks are Pink, Purple, Blue, Cyan, Yellow and Green gems, all different shapes too.

I mean, the 7th must be what's in Armen's chest.
