City Design
Lesson 3 of 4 Unreal Environments
Now that you've created a natural environment, you'll learn how to quickly build a sprawling city. Blueprints, shaders and different kinds of set dressing can generate an incredible amount of variety in no time at all. You will finish by setting up a polished scene, which can either be turned into gameplay or a rendered image.
Kiss the Sky
Add a few buildings to your scene from the previous lesson. Try placing the most important buildings first, and then filling in the rest.
Up on the Roof
Now that you've built a city in the previous exercise, choose one of its buildings and create a scene on the roof. If you're feeling confident, try modeling some props or even adding physics to your objects.

Polishing
Now you will polish the environments and shots you've created throughout the course. This not only means making them look prettier, but also making sure they perform well while the environment is being run in real-time. At the end of this lesson, you will have a completed 2D or video piece, as well as a playable environment.
