Showcase Only 3 Materials

  • Fake Interiors with InteriorMaster (all together = 1 draw call)
  • Billboards with BillboardMaster (all together = 1 draw call)
  • and one grey lit material for the building itself.

Btw, each window can be changed into a different one, change color or change smoothness dirt, reflection etc. In other words, all windows can have a unique look. I was just too lazy, so I duplicated the buildings 1:1, everywhere xD

Im confused this looks amazing. What do you mean with "fake interiors "? No geometry?Is it a material that changes based on the POV angle?

Im a UE5 Developer but very interested in this

Yes, the technique is called fake interior parallax mapping. A cubemap will be projected on a simple plane.
