Interior visualization in Unreal Engine 4

A variety of programs is used to create high-quality 3D visualization. The most popular are 3D max, Corona, vRay, MentalRay, but we would like to tell you about the Unreal Engine 4 program in this article. It is not as popular as the above-mentioned ones, however, it deserves some attention, and a large selection of working tools allows creating and visualizing high-quality models in three-dimensional space.

Needless to say that this program, like any other, has its pros and cons. Let’s try to consider them in more detail, noting immediately that visualization and simulation processes that take place in Unreal Engine 4 is very comfortable, and the result looks more than worthy.

Speaking of formats that this program supports, we point out at expansions .fbx and .obj. Export of the finished 3DS Max model in Unreal Engine 4 for rendering is not a problems and is performed by virtually any 3D redactor. Thus, you can use, for example, Maya or 3D Max. However, do not forget doing export to keep an eye on polygons and topology of the model. Otherwise, the performance may be affected, which is undesirable. It is also worth paying attention to the layout, otherwise work with textures can be difficult.

Using Blueprint node system in the given program allows avoiding difficulties with the construction of logic, which, in turn, automatically solves the issues of programming. However, you can take advantage of C++ language, if necessary. The development of materials also will not cause any particular problem, because there is the possibility of combining the four basic properties, allowing create any type of surface easily.

 

 

A wide range of tools allows customizing the desired lighting of the scene. It is possible to add a variety of interactive elements, such as background music and sound effects. For post-processing, Unreal Engine 4 offers a variety of special effects such as depth, glow, glares, and more. If necessary, this program provides more specific tools.

Summarizing everything, we can say that the Unreal Engine 4 is a great program for creating 3D models, featuring a large choice of means, having quite simple controls and high photo-realism.
