UE4: BSP Blockout From Concept Art to an Interior Motel Room - Tutorial 

This was great. I honestly have never used a BSP. They look really helpful lol. I liked hearing your thought process with the block out.

I've been using BSP for a while, and this tutorial gave iteresting details and tips I wish I knew earlier. Thank you!

Everything from you is quality. I'm always learning something new, the pacing is good and its straight to the point. I discovered you through Preproduction Blueprint, liked it and followed your tips... my skills keep expanding since. Keep it up!

Great tutorial. I like how you showed the entire process and gave tips along the way.

For set pieces and unique spaces this is a great wokflow. However, I would not recommend this arbitrary approach to dimensions if creating a truly modular environment. It will only lead to headaches later on. Of course you can force your dimensions to fit your established modular framework dimensions using FFD/lattice tools in your 3D program, but it's much easier to build everything from the start around your framework(2m2 or whatever) I think that's what a lot of beginners below in the comments seem to be getting confused with: set piece Vs modular environment building. As for BSPs.....I haven't used them in many years. I find it much quicker to greybox in 3dsMax/Blender. The export process is so fast that it saves a huge amount of time versus the clunky BSP modeling/layout when it comes to iteration/playtesting. Also, modifiers are respected from Max so I can procedurally model as well and UE4 will respect that. The other advantage is that the modular greybox meshes can easily be polished to the final static meshes without having to rebuild everything from scratch as you do with BSPs. Lastly, greyboxing in your 3D program allows a lot more modeling flexibility in the tools available. BSPs used to have the advantage of quick boolean modeling years ago as it suited the limitations of the 'Doom' type dungeon environment, but boolean modeling in the DCCs has become so much better in recent years with tools like Boxcutter in Blender. Anyway, just my 2c. Always loved your videos, mate. Great to see you still making them. :D

Awesome videos ❤️ as much I see I clear my doubts more and more 😀 thank you for the quality knowledge 🔥

i love these tutorials

Cool tutorial. keep them coming please !

Awesome video man! Thank you!

Wow! This was this channel's first tutorial I watched. Instant like, subscribe, AND bought the Quad Bundle. If the rest of the tutorials are just as great, I'm optimistic that I won't regret this impulse buy (I'm usually not an impulse buyer, lol). Do you plan to make some level design tutorials on Godot, maybe once Godot 4.x comes out? A Godot + Blender workflow series would nicely complement this UE4 series!

I love your tutorials 😍

Awesome video thanks :-)

What are some of your favorite environment locations to create - locations that you always feel drawn to? Reply to this comment and let me know.

I love you three thousand!

Thank you

You've been on a BSP roll recently! I like how you go start to finish instead of skipping things. I would really like to see someone show how to work with modular assets from the Ue4 marketplace. People are able to build complete buildings/dungeons/castles from small pillars and panels. Jumping in is overwhelming and you've showed that with concept art and BSPs, you can rough things out. You told us how you'd use what you create to make your own assets, but what if you have them already in modular form from someone else? This is from a level creation point of view like floors, doors, rooms, and hallways; not from an interior design point of view like adding plants and pictures (but that can be included too!)

I am so happy that I found this. Watched it fully and then fell asleep. lmao

Thanks for this great video! I'm highly interested in the modular design approach. Do you have any tips & tricks on how to approach this with level design? I think during the blockout phase we should use our artistic license and just work on the level for the most part, right? However, what will we do when time comes to move on to build the actual static meshes? How do you define the dimensions of the modular pieces? Just nudge the width/height to make it fit or move/enlongate/shrink parts? And also how would we tackle the light mapping issues with modular pieces that you mentioned? Would really appreciate if you could make a video about this. :-)

Thanks for video. I think that the only problem of this technique is that you will have only few vertex for wall, ceeling and others. And even if it will be more performant, it also doesn't permit to better use the paint brush to do environments. If we could you this technique and also decide the number of vertex could be great.

You can make a level design interiror with BSP'S or Static meshes..

second good tutorial

Thanks for these tutorials. Do you plan to make more tutorials in the source engine or is unreal the focus now?

dude this is soo fucking cool. thanks for this video

Is there a part 2? The next steps after this one?

Is there any other way to export Level blockout to .FBX rather than exporting Level ?

WorldofLevelDesign: Makes video about how to make a basic hotel room! Me: Shit, this guy needs more likes for this video!

i am a bit confused about the static mesh part at 27:21 like you will create the whole scene as one static mesh or just the walls of the room because for an exterior environment what I did was I created all the static mesh (props) as separate but they all shared one UV tile so are you saying that you are going to model the floor and the ceiling as one static mesh and other props (like bed n so) in another static mesh? sorry, I know this is a dumb question but I had to ask because i was confused

The beds feel a little wide at 27:27 specifically the distance between the mannequins hips.

Dumb question probably, but I'm new to ue4 and modeling in general... What is the advantage of doing geometry edit like you did instead of just using the scale options for making the floor/walls/roof/etc?

Hello thank you so much for showcasing your method of blockout I had a couple of question I hope you can answer 1) 13:23 when you are closing of that section isn't it better to leave that 20cm gap that way when you unwrap you don't have to account for the gap where the texture will be hidden 2) How do you approach unwrapping a whole room, are you making seams every 2m and the overlapping them? or something else. thanks in advance, also please consider making a video on the whole process of unwrapping, I feel there's tons of video on youtube of how to create static meshes, but so few showcasing how to properly unwrap and handle textures.

What is a good scale and move increment for blocking out?

i thought this is just for people like me to make shitty looking games. my mind is blown right now, these black bars are not because i suck but because my room was not "one". thats awesome!

2:45 importing manquin

Is there a next video for this ;)

Yoooooooooooooo first

Plot twist: He just became a digital G-d when he dropped the first Cube. NPC are pondering where they came from and what their purpose in the Unreal Engine really is.. #InTheBeginning

this is excellent and simple, just like me. LUL
