Greenhouse - Unreal Engine
This is another project that I have been working on in my spare time. This is a hybrid of my own assets and assets/materials/decals from the (really!) cool Megascans library. The best part of this journey was the dive into composition, lighting, foliage and some minor VFX work.
A shout out to Patrick Gladys for his awesome vegetation tutorial (https://www.artstation.com/artwork/6aPEDn) which was a real eye opener and to Mikael Andersson for awesome feedback as always.
The stills were captured using Ansel.
Super easy to render out movies in Unreal!
I modeled several variations of the Ivy and Fern and used textures from Megascans for them.

This is the camera I keep throughout the entire project to track my own progress. There is a GIF a bit further down!
The floor uses a vertex painted mask to blend between three materials.
The pots are used heavily throughout the scene :)
I added awnings so that I could more easily control where to have sunny and shaded areas.
I created the Hydrangea from pictures that I took of one I had on my balcony last summer.
Most of the plants under the tables are ready to use plants from Megascans.
Some of the assets that I build from scratch (using some Megascans materials as texturing base).

The process from start to finish :)
