VR Integrated Heritage Recreation: Using Blender and Unreal Engine 4: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "VR Integrated Heritage Recreation: Using Blender and Unreal Engine 4" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Create assets for history-based games. This book covers the fundamental principles required to understand and create architectural visualizations of historical locations using digital tools. You will explore aspects of 3D design visualization and VR integration using industry-preferred software.
Some of the most popular video games in recent years have historical settings (Age of Empires, Call of Duty, etc.). Creating these games requires creating historically accurate game assets. You will use Blender to create VR-ready assets by modeling and unwrapping them. And you will use Substance Painter to texture the assets that you create.
You will also learn how to use the Quixel Megascans library to acquire and implement physically accurate materials in the scenes. Finally, you will import the assets into Unreal Engine 4 and recreate a VR integrated heritage that can be explored in real time. Using VR technology and game engines, you can digitally recreate historical settings for games.
What You Will Learn
  • Create high-quality, optimized models suitable for any 3D game engine
  • Master the techniques of texturing assets using Substance Painter and Quixel Megascans
  • Keep assets historically accurate
  • Integrate assets with the game engine
  • Create visualizations with Unreal Engine 4

Who Is This Book For
Game developers with some experience who are eager to get into VR-based games

Introduction

The aim of this book is to teach readers the fundamental principles needed to understand and create architectural pre-visualization of historical locations using digital tools. We will explore all the foundational aspects of 3D design visualization and VR integration using software that is actively used by the industry. We will use Blender to create VR-ready assets by modeling and unwrapping them. Then we will use Substance Painter to texture the assets that we created. We will also learn how to use the Quixel Megascans library to acquire and implement physically accurate materials to the scene. Then we will import all our assets into Unreal Engine 4 and re-create a VR integrated heritage that can be explored in real time.

A huge part of the worlds history has been lost to wars, invasions, and natural degradation. Using VR technology and game engines, we can re-create digitally what has been lost. This can revolutionize the way we can preserve history digitally. Hopefully, after reading this book, you will be equipped to be a part of this heritage-preservation effort.

This book is suitable for beginners in the field of GeoICT (Geospatial Information and Communication Technology). Archaeologists, computer graphic engineers, game technology specialists, and so on, will all find the book extremely useful.

What you will learn:

  • How to digitally preserve ruined historical locations.

  • How to create high-quality optimized models suitable for any 3D game engine.

  • How to texture assets using Substance Painter and Quixel Megascans and keep them historically accurate.

  • How to use asset integration with game engines.

  • How to create visualizations with Unreal Engine 4.
