Stylized megascans

[late mantle]

I stylize megascans assets to use them for the environment and combine them with my own assets in the scene.

I am experimenting with different workflows and artstyles atm to find a fitting style for the game i work on with friends.

awesome! did you export the meshes to retexture them?

I love the clouds! Are they static or part of a dynamic weather system?

[late mantle]

assets are exported into blender to reduce polycount then retextured in substance. Clouds are part from a stylized skysystem i purchased from the store

[low tusk]

cool workflow, question, why do you reduce the poly count? will not be enough to use a higher LOD mesh?

Looks really great! Does quixel allow these derivative assets to be used in games made in UE? I remember thinking of trying the same thing at one point, but the terms of use confused me on this topic. Again, really great work.

If I remember correctly, they encourage use within UE, but there’s some restrictions on editing in other programs. I’ll have to check again

yea, for other softwares there are restrictions.

i lower the polycount to reduce the file size of the assets and because it fits better to the artstyle visually.

working on level transitions and a loading screen. Pretty much basic visuals so far

It looks and sounds awesome! I'm working on a stylized game too. If you have any interest or time to do so, I would totally watch a recorded video of your workflow to get those megascan assets stylized. Nice work!

looks very good, keep up the great work

Nice use of Nanite! Also, I like your sky and clouds :3
