The best inventions often start life as errors rather than plans, so try different asset combinations, lighting and material parameters. Test out your environment frequently, gather feedback, and make any adjustments.

Pietro Chiovaro

The ability to create stunning environments in real-time game engines has become increasingly accessible and visually impressive with the arrival of Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) and its integration with Quixel Bridge. The new UE5 offers incredible rendering capabilities and a solid set of tools for creating stunning and realistic environments. From the other side, Quixel Bridge provides a vast library of highquality photoscanned assets, including decals, 3D models, textures, and materials captured from real-world locations.

Pietro is a freelance 3D artist and YouTuber. An expert in the creation of game assets and environments, he shares his creations on his channel. pietrochiovaro.com

By mixing the potential of UE5 with the rich and diverse Quixel Megascans library, developers and artists can bring their virtual creations to life with awesome details and visual accuracy. Whether you’re building a large landscape, a complex interior or a fantasy scene, the integration of the Megascans library within UE5 empowers creators to make visually stunning environments that immerse players.
