Level up your world-building skills in Unreal 5. ⁠
Here's a shortcut to create entire CITIES faster than ever!⁠
⁠
Decals!⁠
If you haven't used Unreal, you're probably thinking "What are decals?"⁠
⁠
Decals are stickers you can slap over any object in your scene and override any part of your material.⁠
⁠
With Decals, you can project any image or texture in two clicks!⁠
⁠
All the cities are made of glass, so if I just override the "emissive" property, I'll get shiny glass surfaces with glowing bright office buildings inside!⁠
⁠
This is the perfect shortcut to add tons of photoreal BG detail in a few minutes⁠
Try it out the next time you're building a city! ⁠
⁠
Whether you're creating real-life or sci-fi, I use these in every environment⁠
⁠
