Hi everyone! My first time posting here.
I’m a self-taught 3D artist, who started learning Unreal Engine just recently. Unreal Engine was something too “advanced” for me until I started watching tutorials on Youtube and trying my hand at making environments in it. I mostly used Blender before and I was always struggling with lighting my scenes but it was really surprising for me how easy it is to set up a realistic lighting in Unreal. Truly a NextGen experience!
Can’t wait to learn more and to see more beautiful art made in Unreal Engine!

Hey there @Zaizen-1,

Welcome to the Unreal Engine Forums! Thrilled to have you here.

What a way to make an introduction! Really came out swinging with such a solid environment. There’s a moment when you pan to see the light rays beaming on the torii and it’s just stunning. Wonderful work and thanks so much for sharing your art :slight_smile:

Hope to see more of your projects here on the forums!

Hey! Thank you so much!
I’m so happy I started learning Unreal Engine! Still can’t believe the results I can get with lumen and nanite technology, just mindblowing! :exploding_head:

Woow! Amazing work, so realistic =) congratz. May i ask where did you find the Tori in the assets? Can’t seem to find one

Hey! Thank you!
I actually made the Torii gate and shrine building myself.
But you can find free Torii models on cgtrader and use quixel textures for a good looking result!
