This month I'm making a scene with every other day and calling it HALL-oween. All geometry is built with #ScytheEditor in #UnrealEngine This first one is inspired by the jails in Diablo 2 #gamedev #UE5 #gameart

These are SO good. If you're aiming for 32px per meter texel density, this is all you'll ever need. They work wonderfully in Scythe too because there's trims/hotspot textures in here.

A few weeks ago I released an update to Scythe, my Unreal Engine level editor, which has a lot of QoL features and cool new stuff. Here's a list of some of the cool stuff starting with "hotspot locking":

I made this from nothing and textured it in 20 minutes with the new Scythe 0.10 update. It's called "The Texturing Update" for a reason. More below...

Learnin bout hotspots with Scythe. Just a lil setup and like 20 minutes of extruding faces is enough to start having a workable thing! Real fun to have some good tools to work with right in editor

A small forest glade level in unreal, with gray paintbrushed-textured walls and a mossy green patchwork floor with some square platform protrusions sticking up from the ground.

What UVing in a good level editor tool is like: Select a face and Alt + RMB on hovered faces to flow it to that face. I can also flow it from the hovered face to the selected faces with Shift + Alt + RMB (coming in Scythe 0.7).

Learning Scythe for Unreal and decided to experiment with roughness maps on some new textures.

A dilapidated two floor apartment building interior. Tall vertical windows slit out apertures over the embers of a cityscape.

The double doors of an elevator, a palimpsest of graffiti. Light catches on the streaks and scratches of the metal.

The lower doors of the elevator, one lost in the shaft itself. Another leans against the frame adjacent and recent upon which is a searing gradient. The O of which is a target reticle. "VOS".

A poverty of remarkable detail on the exterior. I would like to assure the viewer that all of these are WIP sketches and not remotely indicative — let alone dispositive — of final visuals.

With Unreal Engine 5.6, my pull request to the engine is live that gives you the option for clicks to pass through back faces in both modeling tools and Scythe. You won't have to be "inside" your rooms when you're building anymore.
