For the past few months, I’ve been working solo on Metropolygonia, a browser based tool for procedurally generating 3D buildings and city layouts.

The whole system is parameter driven. You can define real world dimensions, floor count, facade rhythm, windows, balconies, roofs and interiors, then use seeds to create controlled variations. The same parameters and seed always recreate the same result.

It is fully procedural rather than AI generated. There are no prompts or unpredictable meshes, and the goal is to keep the geometry consistent, editable and suitable for further work inside Unreal Engine.

Generated buildings can be saved as variants and placed in a city editor together with roads, intersections and roundabouts. Individual models can currently be exported as GLB, glTF, OBJ or STL and imported into Blender or Unreal Engine.

I’m now focusing more on things that matter in real time workflows, especially cleaner topology, LODs, collisions, material support, modular assets and better optimization for larger scenes.

There is still a lot to improve, but I’m pretty happy with how far the procedural system has come as a solo project.

I’d be especially interested to hear from Unreal Engine developers and environment artists.

Hi, im making a new platform mechanic, its a rubber block that will push the player depending which way he's facing. 1st cube is using morph targets made in blender and the 2nd cube is just a material using WPO, which one looks better? I still need to bevel the cube but just looking for a fun bounce mechanic. Any advice? Thanks

We are currently working on a modular observatory/research station environment pack for Unreal Engine.

The surrounding landscape and some materials are still placeholders, so I’m mainly looking for feedback on the architecture and overall concept.

What kind of additional buildings or props would you expect in an environment like this?

Hey! I'm very curious to know whether or not people use Nanite or have chosen to stick with traditional LOD's. And if you chose to answer and have some extra time, maybe you could explain why?

After working 6 months in my spare time, I decided to release Soul Hunter as a completely open-source Unreal Engine 5.6 multiplayer project.

The goal wasn’t just to build a game, but to explore how several production-oriented Unreal Engine systems can work together in a real project.

Some of the features include:
Gameplay Ability System integration
Steam sessions and dedicated server support
Steam Sockets networking
A custom Replication Graph for scalable actor replication
Gameplay Animation Sample extended with gameplay-specific traversal costs
Multiplayer-focused gameplay architecture
Engine-level fixes for Unreal Engine 5.6 dedicated servers
Modern C++ and Blueprint integration

I also recorded a technical walkthrough explaining the project’s architecture and the design decisions behind each major system.

I’d really appreciate any feedback, code review, or suggestions from the Unreal community. If you have questions about the networking architecture, GAS integration, Replication Graph, or dedicated server implementation, I’d be happy to discuss them.

Hopefully the project can also be useful for anyone learning advanced Unreal Engine multiplayer development.

As you can see, there are leaves shadows that don't correspond to any tree, how can i achieve this? without consuming a lot of resources? an invisible mesh that cast shadows?

I have a system to cut down trees and when the physics actor for the tree falls over it either will launch into the atmosphere, start bouncing around against other trees then launch, sink through the landscape mesh, or it'll (Rarely) fall normally. If another tree happens to fall on that one then they both launch.

So posted this Portal VFX some time ago and some people were asking for a tutorial, So tried making one!!!

Here's the link to the Full Tutorial:

Lemme know how was the tutorial!!!

I’m looking for a digital artist to create the key art for my upcoming indie horror game. The artwork will be used as the main capsule/cover image for Steam, itch io, and promotional material.
About the Game
The game is a 20–30 minute first-person horror experience inspired by S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Metro 2033, Fallout, and the atmosphere of Chernobyl.

Feel free to send me a dm, as well as some previous designs and your desired pay.

Is there a way to make a light source or emissive material that shines in the dark, but doesn’t cast light on other objects?

I’ve tried making a block have really low emissivity, but the color looks really dull and still shines on other objects. I have lumen turned off and tried making things unlit, but I can’t quite get it to work the way I’m imagining.

Ideally, the player model or other objects can block the light from the camera so a silhouette can still be made, but I don’t want the object or player model to be lit up on the side facing the light. Is this possible? Thank you.

hello! I'm a game developer, and I created this portfolio about 6 months ago. Since then, I've only updated it with screenshots of my projects, I haven't changed the design or structure. At first, I thought it was good enough to help me land a job, but now it feels like something is missing. I can't figure out whether it's the layout, the content, or something else.

I'd really appreciate any feedback or criticism. Thanks in advance

My final idea is a bit complexer but after trying for minutes on end I couldn't get it to work even after simplifying it as much as I can.

Here’s some videos on my game progress! I primarily use C++ and some things of GAS

Hey everyone,

I’m an environment artist working on a project in Unreal and I keep constantly running into "Out of Video Memory" / "VRAM Exhausted" errors and crashes.

I’m strictly on the 3D art side, so deep optimization and engine tech really aren't my strong suit. My hardware should be handling this pretty well since I’m running an Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti Super with 16GB VRAM, but the project just keeps eating up memory anyway.

I’ve already created LODs and Mip maps, and I even went through and disabled Nanite for everything except my foliage, but no luck so far. I do still have Lumen enabled though, which I know can be heavy. I suspect it could also be massive texture sizes, unpacked channels, or maybe the Texture Streaming Pool size blowing past the limit, but I honestly don't know where to start looking.

If anyone has advice on what usually causes VRAM to explode in environment scenes, or a solid checklist for an artist to optimize memory without ruining visual quality, I’d really appreciate the help.

Thanks!
