I love creating atmospheric, photoreal environments, and Unreal Engine allows me to create these environments very quickly. It took me long enough to get the hang of this free program, so I want to fast track your progress and show you my step-by-step workflow.
I always start by gathering reference beacuse it guides our creative journey. From tehre i'll block out the camera angle, environment and lighting with the goal of getting us to 80% ASAP. Because we're going to spend most of our time adding details and tweaking anyway. It's that last 20% that makes the creative process so addicting. Just know that you can spend days or WEEKS tweaking the lighting, camera, and adding details, but it's the best part. Have a blast!
