Unreal Engine 5 Free Assets Challenge

But overall, there’s some real skill required in taking Marketplace packs and making them work in your own work. So its a really underrated skill imho. In that sense, marketplace packs can be quite deceptive. As they really can be more of a liability (or an overrated / over-hyped kind of thing), versus actually being an asset to work with in practice when integrating. :grin:

This definitely this. I need to steal this and maybe explain it in another video, there is so much negativity around developers who use assets, for good reason sometimes. But knowing how to integrate assets correctly is not easy, and even harder than that is just looking at an asset page and getting a good idea of whether this will work for you or not. Maybe at the very least, people can start to learn from my mistakes, if not taking on this challenge for themselves.

Fix it in Blender? Eh, no thanks!!!

Lol, yeah I was just playing devil’s advocate there, can’t imagine someone actually wanting to do that.

What happens the very next time there’s just 2 foliage packs and 3 code plugins to work with?! :stuck_out_tongue:

For me, even just artistic scenes and not games are totally acceptable to fulfill the challenge. But I guess I would prefer something playable :sweat_smile:
