Just updated my Unreal Engine project to 5.6. I just love creating with this tool.😍

🎮 This weekend I finished my first Unreal Engine project after 6 months of work. It took me about 900 hours in total. 🏝️ A fully explorable Aegean island built completely inside UE5. 🔨All the houses and the temple were modeled by me using UE5’s in-engine modeling tools.

Hearing my name as a stadium announcement while playing FC 25 is priceless feeling. I added it as an Easter egg back when I was working on FIFA 22. It made me happy especially considering I was losing 6-0. 😅

🎮 My First Unreal Engine Project – 6-Month Sign-off Update Teaser 🏝️ I am very happy to share my first Environmental Design project in Unreal Engine. This was an amazing learning experience. More to share on my ArtStation soon. #UE5

Some screenshots from my personal project #UE5

After 6 months of hard work, my first Unreal Engine world-building project: a recreation Assassin’s Creed Odyssey-like world. Every single building was modeled by me directly in-engine, my very first experience with 3D modeling. #unrealengine5 #worldbuilding #environmentart #UE5

Yesterday when I was polishing my first video game demo, I had to stop and look around ant take pictures. 6 months of hard work, already satisfied with it. #UE5

6 months after my first Unreal Engine project I am slowly wrapping up my first video game demo project, Project Heliada. This is the last week I will keep polishing to add it to my portfolio with a demo. I am so happy, satisfied, proud and looking forward for the next project. #UE5 #projectheliadad

Modeled this temple inside Unreal Engine 5 Here’s a look at the interior of an ancient Greek temple made entirely in UE5 using the in-engine modeling tool. I have 15 days left to complete Project Heliada, and honestly, it’s getting hard to tell what should be the priority at this point. #UE5

This house is potentially base for my main character in my demo game project. What do you think of the view? #UE5

Day and Night Cycle Yesterday I was testing the day and night cycle along with some color grading tweaks. I want to showcase the map in different lighting conditions for my ArtStation portfolio once the project is finished. Built this hill, assembled a modular house using pieces. #UE5

This Tower Is Made Completely In-Engine in UE5 Wanted to share @williamfaucher.bsky.social 's amazing EasyMapper tool. Honestly one of the best plugins I’ve ever purchased. I’ve been trying to create all the buildings in my project in-engine and paint them using EasyMapper. #UE5 #EasyMapper

The atmosphere in my first game in Unreal Engine 5 after nearly 6 months. Only 15 days left to wrap up my first-ever project. It’s been an insane learning curve. I couldn’t have imagined getting anywhere near this when I started. Time to polish Project Heliada and prepare for the next chapter. #UE5

Some WIP shots from my in-engine built Ancient Greek temple. The floor, walls, columns, everything marble you see is modeled completely in-engine. Props are mainly from Leartes, textures from Quixel. The frontal floor is completely hand placed one by one. 😑 #UE5 #UnrealEngine5 #ProjectHeliada

Over the weekend, I was polishing my temple a bit more based on feedback from my art mentors. I replaced the AI-generated statue with an asset from Leartes and swapped the AI wallpapers with original images from a museum. Added some curtains, carpets, more details, CATS. Still a WIP. #UE5 #gamedev

Some screenshots from my WIP temple. Set dressing with some external props but the main structure is modeled by me completely in-engine. Trying to polish this part since I have only 1 month left in this project. #UE5

5 months ago - Now 5 months ago, when I started to use Unreal Engine for the first time, I was pretty much lost, using some Megascan assets. After 5 months of work and using modeling tool inside Unreal Engine, I created this beautiful temple and garden (still WIP). #UE5 #3dmodeling

I created a small ancient Greek store that sells little statues of gods and other figures. Also, fun fact: I keep using the same NPC because I only had time to make two during my CC4 free trial 😂 #UE5 #gamedev #unrealengine

Some new screenshot from my progress in Project Heliada. The roof of the temple was a third party asset and I finally built my own roof today completely in-engine. With this, the entire main structure of temple is made by me. 2 months in 3d modeling and I'm loving it. #UE5 #3dmodeling #unrealengine

I wanted to share some screenshots from my project, Project Heliada.🏝️ Project Heliada is my first world building project. I have worked exactly 5 months on it. Will work 1 month more than then wrap it up. #UE5 #unrealengine #projectheliada

Ancient Greek Temple in Unreal Engine 5 This Saturday I worked a bit more to connect the temple to the town. To be honest, I couldn't find many examples, currently I am going full free-style. Most probably the style is not historically accurate but I am just testing my creativity. #UE5 #gamedev

Columns Modeled In-Engine Here’s a sneak peek at the new WIP temple! The columns and walls were modeled entirely in-engine, then textured with Quixel. The wall paintings were created using generative AI (Leonardo). I’m not the biggest fan of AI art, but I am okay with ancient styles. #UE5

-before and after 3 hours of work🥲 -every building is completely modelled made in Unreal Engine (except the roof part, it's external). -only 34 days left to complete my project #ue5 #unrealengine #gamedev #3dmodeling

UE5's Native Modeling Tool Just 3D-modeled this incense completely in-engine using UE5’s modeling tool. Started with a cylinder, used Boolean, then made a thin cylinder for the incense stick. Added another for the ash, some decals, and finally, candle smoke VFX. Voilà! #UE5 #modeling #3d #gamedev
