Updated the wall drawing thing, now instead of using the mouse wheel to dictate length, it just snaps length to the pointer position along the edge of the floor.

What are you using for the mesh? Is it procedural or is it just a mesh being stretched and a material being applied?
Also, heres a useful tip for those that arent aware that you can make a custom pivot in UE4 for meshes. If you hold down the middle mouse button and move the transform gizmo, you can move the pivot point for the mesh temporarily.

Just a mesh being stretched with a global aligned material being applied.

Look up DCEL structure, it's perfect for making a sims game

I have an actor that allows me to do some funky stuff like this:
[t]http://i.imgur.com/a32Uyaf.jpg[/t]
[t]http://i.imgur.com/rFO9ltK.jpg[/t]
basically it allows you to cut a hole into a tilable wall segment, I had to edit the engine to allow me to do this but if you want I can throw the code your way and you can take a look at it :>
It allow me to set this up:
[t]http://i.imgur.com/1oGAUnL.jpg[/t]
but yeah, the wall segment is a 3d model you feed into the actor, it tiles the UV's properly and allows you to have an horizontal mesh pattern preserved. Really good for baseboards in houses as well as siding for houses.

Oh man yeah if you're willing to share I'd love to look at that, I was going to look into this awful spline tracing workaround to get windows and doorways in, but this looks way nicer. Great work, I'll PM you.

Hi guys, would this be a good place for advice on understanding settings and tips for architectural visualization in Unreal Engine?
I'm working with a company trying to get more involved in this for the eventual purpose of VR and interactive tours, and while I feel like I have a pretty good handle on the engine there are areas that I'm trying to improve on like lighting and reflections to achieve more realistic results and avoid graphical issues.
Just wondering if I should go here or to the Digital 3D Art thread before I start cluttering up the thread with questions. Thanks!

You'll probably be able to find answers to questions here, quite a few people work with VR headsets in here I believe.

Try and get your hands on a copy of 3D World issue 218, it's got a pretty great spread on archvis and getting good GI bakes in UE4.
Kind of running out of ideas, yet I still feel like I have so much to add to this scene.

Needs some spiderwebs and dirt in the corners of the floor.
[QUOTE=Cow Muffins;51866697]Needs some spiderwebs and dirt in the corners of the floor.[/QUOTE]
Cobwebs are definitely something Im thinking of adding, Im just not entirely sure how I will make something like that in substance designer.
Perhaps some missing bricks and some scattered on the floor?
The metal door between the iron door and the brick arch isn't (apparently) rusted, yet the door is.

VFX for a contest. I think its turning out pretty good :)
When your scene capture fucks up but in a good way

a rust clone?
[QUOTE=Johnny Guitar;51881017]a rust clone?[/QUOTE]
Yeah i guess in some ways but we take our inspiration from rust legacy not the reboot, I wanted to capture the feel of legacy while putting my own spin of things.

Damn, if you were going for a rust legacy clone, you've certainly nailed it. Did you/your team make those assets? Do you have MP working?
Wasted two days on this, it's buggy as hell, still kinda fun to mess around with.

Thanks, yeah we make most of our assets but we do also use some brought assets, my friends a 3d artist so between us we can cover most of the content we need, we just lack in the rigging and animations department. We have multiplayer working on both listen and dedicated servers.
Here are some of the more detailed assets my mate has created for the game.
