Create a Post-Apocalyptic Road in UE4 

Partnership between Quixel and Epic is amazing. Really enjoyed it.

I love these videos. It'd be interesting to see the total amount of points used to create them.

These Quixel videos demo some of the most amazing photo-realistic scenes I've seen in a game engine. I can only imagine what they'd look like through a VR headset. I've been playing around with Blender and Unity, but I'm going to have to try Unreal, having seen what it's capable of.

Trespasser remake Town streets. Totally awesome! This is the level of detail. I have actually noticed, that many of the videos you guys, represent. Are in direct alignment with A Trespasser remake, which was well beyond its time. Trespasser, remake should hold no lower standards than this demonstration. It was well beyond its time, and paved the way to advanced gaming experiences.

This is a really believable scene. It's familiar to the point that it reminds me of places I've been, and I can picture myself walking through it.

Thank you for this great workflow demonstration.

It would be nice if a major video game corporation utilized these assets more in their games. It would be awesome to see roads with this level of detail become the standard for graphical detail!

Oh!Man you are a natural game creator, i like your videos a lot it has really helped me, Thank You!!! and keep it up until you reach a higher level in game creation Good Luck!!!

I am definitely going to use Mixer soon in the future. It looks very much worth it.

beautiful and realistic

Wonderful! Thanks for the tip on MS livelink plugin!. Thanks for sharing

This....this is AMAZING!

That’s so good bro keep it up

That's really simple and amazing

Amazing!! Please do more videos like this! :o

You guy should make a game. definitely everybody will love it

*Amazing!!!* _I love your videos!_ 👏👏👏🍃✌

As a professional Game Master (someone who runs tabletop RPGs/ Wargames for a living) I feel kind of bad after watching these creation videos from Quixel that have been showing up in my suggested videos feed. I hadn't thought to look into digital level design while making my game boards and the inspiration from these videos have really come in clutch to "up my game" in my very niche market. So 'Thank You!' Quixel, but also 'Sorry, my dudes...' These video make me wish I was a digital level designer. I would definitely use your product if I was.

Beautiful.

Imagine what this will look like in 10 years 😍 you won’t be able to tell the difference between real life or a game

This looks so good!!! 😍

Ngl the view are really stunning

For anyone struggling with Vertex paint channels not appearing - it seems newer version of Unreal use the "weight" painting section instead of "color".

Uau vc é incrível cara continue com seu ótimo trabalho !!

Amazing! Super cool!

Quixel has the best quality tutorial.

I love these videos.

Amazing! Thanks!

Looks awesome

I love your videos. Awesome:)

So good!

Tremendous way to explore the possibilities of Unreal Engine, Countless Thumbs :)

Thank you, I will use more decals

I find this very attractive, I do scale models and some dioramas. Currently I'm working in a diorama inspired en The Last Of Us, your video is the perfect tutoríal for me, thanks!

Awesome!!!

You are amazing !!! Thank you !

great stuff!

Streets... YAY!!! ;-). The only thing missing is Wiktor's Cyperpunk Environment from his Streetvid converted to Apo!

I want to live in a world like that, I like the grass on the middle of the road.

Thats unreal

I have a small question how it looks with Quixel if, VR technology continues to advance in stride, especially with the tehma phantom sense. Because Quixel does more than just a large textures database. Or will the Tehma be interesting for a couple of decades?

Fantastic))

Ultimate!!

Yō nice video bro. I am a new creator from Call of Duty Black Ops3 Mod Tools the level editor over there is called Radiant. I am trying to learn all Unreal Engine Tools, that is the hardest thing to learn for me is "How does the editor work? Like what all tools are in this editor? What are the short cuts keys? How to toggle the 2-D editor? The 2-D editor is probably the most important thing is creating geo. Imo. The 2-D editor allows more control over drawing out brushes, placing hidden barriers such as "Clips" I will eventually figure it out, but there is just so much to take as is with any level editor". Thanks for the video. Beautiful lighting as well. Lighting is another video all together I am sure, but lighting as a tremendous impact on this scene that is not mentioned in this video. Unless these lights are all default sun volumes etc.... If that is the case, then shadows place a big part in how a scene looks. Shadows and position of the direction of the Sun Volume controls how shadows appear. Anyways great video .

This is completely amazing ! Wonderful ! I just downloaded UE4 for several weeks, I am completely new in 3D creation, but want to learn myself and began with basic UE4 tutorials. Im an not sure if I should continue first continue investigating UE4, or directly continue by exploring Quixel Bridge and Mixer. I added by default all the Megascan content in my UE4 library, but after I saw that most of them are done for UE4 up to 4.24, and now it is 4.25. (same for many other free content). Will all Megascan content be upgraded to work also with 4.25 and higher UE4 releases, or should I downgrade UE4 to 4.24 instead of 4.25 ?

It's awesome

See in Radiant the 2-D editor allows you to draw out your map, like when you hold m1 and move the mouse it will draw out a brush that is the geometry, like you can draw a straight brush then convert it to a curved patch, terrain patch, curved brush etc. Where is the 2-D editor on Unreal? Thanks.

These are basically Indian roads but better

where can we find the DecalActors as its showing here? When we import decal surfaces from Bridge they have a blurry outside area unlike here where its just the Decals. Would much appreciate your help on this.

What PC are you using, BTW great vid awesome scene

2 questions. Do static meshes like this drop FPS? And any recommendations or direction on how to do a large map like this?

WOW!!!!

Hey Quixel how did you make the sidewalk, also how do you blend road material and curb material?

Awesome! Thank you|!

Does anyone have any idea how to use the Blend Material setup with source materials at different texture sizes? Say I have two 2x2 materials, and one that isn't. Right now when I tried that auto blend material setup, it works great, but the one material doesn't have the correct scale. Is there a easy way to manipulate the tiling for one of the Blends? Any help would be awesome! Thanks!

Seems like this would be used primarily in a smaller scene or for eye candy shots. Can this same amount of detail be used on massive large scale environments the size of Fallout4 or Skyrim? Or for 64-kilometer terrains without killing the hardware? What would be the size and scope limitations?

I Love your videos and the way you break down and explain how things are made and work especially with mixer of which I am a green beginner. Which brings me to my question. If I create a road texture in mixer with sewers debris and imperfections(post apocalyptic) and I want to create a road in twin motion using my texture I created. Do I have to make several different textures in mixer then apply them to same sized primitive objects in twin motion to create a stretch of roadway , the reason I ask about making several different textures of the road is to avoid repetition. Do you have a tutorial that shows how to make a road in twin motion like that or is my way of thinking correct? I’d like your expert advice and guidance on this .Love your videos, I’ve learned a lot from what I have watched, I look forward to seeing many more about mixer. do you have a full tutioral on how you created to geometry for the road>

How did you get the mixer to work, I can't seem to get it to work? i've added the locations etc for export settings still nothing.

Love it autocad and cinema 4D are far superior in render , but create a mesh is a nightmare. I am jealous how UE made it so easy.

I have a problem: I have done exactly like you, but when its about painting in channels - nothing happens. And when I want to create material blend, final material is just one from the ones that I used for blend. Do you know how to fix? And which version of UE 4 do you use? Thank you!

I was wondering can you do a unity3d of same seen but show how you did sidewalk? Great video and very inspiring ❤

CANT WAIT FOR TARKOV .12

Could you do this with an actual road, like if I wanted to edit a scene from my zombie show, could I do this with moving footage?

Another way to do this, is to just photoscan the roads in Winnipeg where I live.

Thank you for the lesson! But I still don't understand how to set up the material itself in the decal. The material that is imported from the Bridge, I do not understand how to switch the mode to "Deferred Decal" Whereas with ordinary materials there is no such problem. Please tell me how to do this?

what do the decals or details look like at the end of the road where the asphault meets another material? It looks uneven.. how was it done?

Quixel: what about draw calls in a way you are doing scene?

Maybe make a full tutorial on how to make the material blend etc, after making mine, when I paint nothing happens even though I followed everything step by step

What are the exact steps/setup to make the decal blend with props placed on the street like shown at 5:00? Thanks!

Can one download this exact scene somehow to test the performance?

It’s not post apocalypses road, it’s regular road of Russia. Something even better.

Im so new to this. what do you use to build out the original mesh for the floor?

It inspired me!thanks!

Can you create a tutorial on how to create the road itself without those paintings? i mean i need to know how to create the road itself the main road so later on i can paint on but can't find any videos on youtube that shows how to create the road itself!

how do you get the mesh like the shape of the road with the sidewalk and curb

the Brush thing doesn't work after 3 texture blend in material ?? ? i really love it and it's awesome But Can't help myself , I want to use it please help......

I’ve spent hours in the Unreal material editor trying to implement the different channels to make it look realistic and not just a flat material. Does Livelink do this?

I always watch these but dont even use UE4 lol

Hi, I tried several time doing vertex painting and always failed with error "unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_STACK_OVERFLOW", am I miss something? thanks for the tutorial.

Man if you could import these into blender, and then into SourceFilm editor. These would make amazing terrain.

Imagine you have the budget to work with all these assets :D

Imagine making a game with these graphics

can i use the same method shown here to export custom textures using UE5.1 or even 5.2?

Please make a video on scene lighting please

wish i could make those meshes for the road...

#greattutorial #unrealengine #textures #epic Thank you.

Does this have RVT or something? How are the meshes blending into the ground?

You should try and do an abandoned highway in the middle of nowhere

FLYING DEBRIS WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!

I have try to create landscape in ue4 everything was fine but the grasses look very bad from top (basically it's disappear ) and weird shadow after bake please help me out and btw grass was from megascan

How is the performance of this specific scene? Is it possible to run this smoothly on VR as it is?

Can you plz tell us how you did the sidewalk too...

can we get an updated version of this?

Stupid question but can someone point me in the right direction on how the lighting is so good and the texture quality? How to do all that

where can i find the puddle decal? did you make your own?

Sir please help me how can i import quixel mixer texture in unreal engine 5 i am ffacing error ( please make sure unreal engine is running before exporting assets )

For this realistic lighting, did you modified the .ini file?

Ubisoft wants to know your location. You're awesome!!!!!! Love from India

Hey Quixel do a lighting tutorial of this scene plz.

Yours heartily share recommend
