Midweek Motivation: Summer Archipelago – Photogrammetry Scans With Unreal Engine

Summer Archipelago is a short video made by Environment Artist Pontus Ryman, recreating his summer memories.  This beautiful homage to summer was created using photogrammetry scans with Unreal Engine.  There’s also a tutorial about starting with RealityCapture and 3D scanning in general with lots of do’s and don’ts regarding taking pictures for photogrammetry.

Pontus states: “On the technical side there is nothing unique about the content. The content is build from scratch after standard game budgets through a curated small set of assets with LODS + billboard final LOD for vegetation, detail textures, and contact shadows, running Real time in Unreal Engine 4.26. ”
