I’m planning on showing UE to a bunch of Interior Architecture / Design students next week and am curious to know if you have any materials / texture / asset packs that you would recommend for starting out? Paid for is OK as there is some budget for this.
Second, If I buy asset packs, Am I able to put them on a share server so a team (students) can all access them?
I have listed some high quality assets that you can use when making interior scenes. I use some of them myself. They are ready to use for archviz purposes.
And of course there’s a whole category for architectural visualization. Here you can find what you want: ARCHITECTURAL VISUALIZATION
As far as I know Unreal Engine 4 can be used freely for educational purposes and assets can be given to team members / students etc. You can read the end user agreement to be sure. Also Marketplace F.A.Q.
