Overview of this book

Unreal Engine 4 now has support for Blender, which was not available in earlier versions. This has opened up new possibilities and that is where this book comes in. This is the first book in the market combining these two powerful game and graphic engines. Readers will build an amazing high-level game environment with UE4 and will show them how to use the power of Blender 3D to create stunning animations and 3D effects for their game. This book will start with creating levels, 3D assets for the game, game progression, light and environment control, animation, and so on. Then it will teach readers to add amazing visual effects to their game by applying rendering, lighting, rigging, and compositing techniques in Blender. Finally, readers will learn how to smoothly transfer blender files to UE4 and animate the game assets. Each chapter will add complexities to the game environment.

Summary


In this chapter, we began the process of whiteboxing a much larger level than our previous one, a mysterious space station that may hold clues as to why the crew of the cargo ship disappeared. During the prototype phase, we also created two scripted events. The first one takes place at the security checkpoint coming in from the docking bay and is designed to create tension and increase the feeling that something is wrong on the station. The second one is a malfunctioning elevator that tells the player that something must have happened and certain death could be lurking right around the corner. But what does the player find in the back of the import/export broker's shop? In the next chapter, we will head back to Blender to design an answer to that question and create a new mysterious and complex game asset for our level.
