Goal:
-
Use essential level design principles and appropriate metrics when creating blockouts, while simultaneously being able to familiarize with the fundamental features of Unreal Engine 5.
Project Details:
-
ENGINE: Unreal Engine 5
-
LANGUAGE: Blueprints
-
DURATION: 1 Week
-
TEAM SIZE: Solo project
Learnings:
1. Concept of Utility and Denial of Space
2. Setting up Unreal Engine 5 to implement a simple blockout that can be quickly iterated
3. Concept of landmarks and focal points
4. Setting up color-coded materials to help with blockout design
5. Establish asset metrics correctly
Assets Used:
-
IWALS by Jakub (Programming)
-
Blocking Starter Pack (Art)
-
Polygon Prototype Pack (Art)
Research and Design Ideas
This was the visual reference used to design the blockout. We had to take inspiration from this environment and create a short level.
Blockout Gallery
These are the multiple iterations behind the design of the blockout. Follow the evolution of the design process through a gallery of images.
