Trying to replicate UE4 clip with Lumion 6 Pro.
But bad shadow, GI and sprite setting though

Dawn - Georg Kolbe
Barcelona Pavilion

(RAW)

UE4 - Barcelona Pavilion (WIP)

Most of em are stock material, some are textures imported to and from sketchup.
Testing the workflow from Sketchup > UE4 without UV mapping/texturing, so default lightmass setting etc in UE4.

It depends on what direction of design that you wanna make.
As for me (architecture), I started with AutoCAD, modeled with Sketchup, and finally using 3rd party programs/plugins for render. Different with character modelling and rigging, you better off straight to 3ds Max even though it has a pretty high learning curve. It will pay off for a long run.

Update for Barcelona Pavilion (still WIP).

The trend nowadays tends toward interactive presentation. UE4 saw that and make it free.
I personally like Lumion cuz of fastest and easiest tool of all, but now I'm migrating to UE4 as rendering clips in Lumion takes lot of time and not really rendered "real-time".

As for UV mapping, its so easy after you get the hang of it. Heck, you can even directly export object to UE4 if your model is super clean. Texturing and creating more detailed polys are much harder than that, cuz sketchup low poly made me urgh, end up have to smooth and subdivide in blender

Moving on to more complicated objects from sketchup.
The Mini Apartment (WIP)

Thanks~
Since I just started recently, I can only help a little bit. Btw I used to work with vray mat so I couldn't say the same with blender. But from what read and tested, basic flat mat is easier to use UE4 own contents since the templates are there, just need to replace texture n uvs. But for complicated object such as curtains, cloth, carpets etc or with tesselation are better baked 1st hand before imported to UE4. Seems like UE4 handle two sided/thin object so bad with its own editor. 3ds Max works like a charm with nvidia gamework support for physx.


...and I need more cores. 12 isn't enough.

Its a little rough, with some artifacts, but it turns out okay

UE4 - Living Room (WIP)

Thanks~
Quality can be increased by increasing the texture map and lightmap, but my PC cant handle the load atm.
Gonna make do with camera tricks and good angles

Btw it is realtime, as I just record the viewport via engine's own software.
Currently running 86fps in 1080p.

Quick question, do you guys spend time more on detailed modelling/sculpting or nomal/displacement? I have trouble deciding which to go for in archviz.

Testing out quick scene from UE4.
Its in real time. No postprocessing is applied atm.

It's easy! Much easier compared to me using Sketchup.
Asset migration is easy, as long as you can optimize your polycount and UV unwrap for lighting.
Only then you can learn the blueprint system to make your scene much more interactive and powerful.

Interactive Archviz - Cybersouth
Made in Unreal Engine 4

Doing large scale KL model in UE4.
Planning to do realtime fly-by.



Added residential models and landscape texture, still maintaining 70+ fps

FPS dipped a little bit to lower 60s.
Labels and texts are dynamic, spawns depending on camera distance and location.
Will continue this side project some other time since I was ordered to make it simpler for iPads and phones.

WIP Interior Cinematic

Thanks, I made this yesterday. Its derivable!




Using Principaled BSDF, or Eevee?

Primarily 3ds Max. But I know almost to nothing about 3ds vray lol.

Wow, good to see another fellow UE4 user here. Nice cinematic you've made there.
The mood is superb, but why I feel like your indirect shadow is a bit off?

Update to the previous video:
