WEBVTT 00:06.850 --> 00:07.840 Welcome back. 00:08.270 --> 00:12.530 Now we still have some gameplay mechanics to flesh out in our RPG game. 00:12.650 --> 00:17.930 But before we do that, I'd like to do a little something about our level for a couple of reasons. 00:17.930 --> 00:25.130 For one, this default starting level and the way it looks is really kind of awful on the eyes. 00:25.160 --> 00:26.450 It doesn't look great. 00:26.450 --> 00:28.550 It doesn't make our particle systems look great. 00:28.550 --> 00:31.520 The lighting isn't that good by default. 00:31.520 --> 00:35.930 The starting maps that we get are not really game worthy. 00:36.110 --> 00:40.760 So I'd like something that looks a little bit nicer, makes our assets look nicer. 00:40.760 --> 00:47.630 And in addition to that, everything we've been testing works on a flat plane. 00:47.630 --> 00:49.320 But what about geometry? 00:49.340 --> 00:51.380 What about things getting in the way? 00:51.530 --> 00:53.810 You know, we have this ability to run around. 00:53.810 --> 00:55.460 We can go behind things. 00:55.460 --> 00:58.820 What about large geometry that can obstruct our view? 00:58.820 --> 01:04.580 So in this section, we're going to take care of those types of situations and we're going to make our 01:04.580 --> 01:11.250 level look a little bit more like an actual game, not only to be more visually appealing, but also 01:11.250 --> 01:17.190 so that we can have something that more resembles a game level and testing will be more accurate in 01:17.220 --> 01:18.150 that sense. 01:18.150 --> 01:23.280 So in this video, we're going to make a new level and change completely how it looks. 01:23.280 --> 01:25.200 It's not going to be a daytime level. 01:25.200 --> 01:29.010 This is a sort of dungeon crawler type RPG. 01:29.040 --> 01:32.310 So we're going to want something a little more appropriate for that. 01:32.310 --> 01:33.810 So let's get started. 01:34.680 --> 01:37.450 So the first thing I'm going to do is make a new map. 01:37.470 --> 01:43.860 I'm going to go to file new level, and I am going to start with basic, but we're going to be changing 01:43.860 --> 01:45.300 quite a lot of things. 01:45.300 --> 01:51.570 But basic is nice because it starts with a sky sphere, a directional light sky atmosphere, all that 01:51.570 --> 01:52.320 good stuff. 01:52.320 --> 01:57.870 So I'm going to create that and right away I'm going to save current level as I'm going to choose my 01:57.870 --> 02:01.710 maps folder and I'll just call this one dungeon. 02:02.010 --> 02:04.260 Now we may have multiple dungeons. 02:04.260 --> 02:07.830 This could be Dungeon one, but for now I'm going to call it Dungeon. 02:07.830 --> 02:10.020 We'll rename it later if we need to. 02:10.050 --> 02:12.930 So what's going to change about our dungeon? 02:12.930 --> 02:15.930 Well, first, the checkered floor has to go. 02:16.170 --> 02:19.140 And I'm not a big fan of the grid. 02:19.170 --> 02:21.330 It does serve a purpose. 02:21.360 --> 02:25.800 It can be useful, but it can also sort of get in the way visually. 02:25.800 --> 02:32.490 So this is personal preference, but I'm going to click show and uncheck grid so we can't see it. 02:32.700 --> 02:39.910 I'm also going to take these key actors, the directional light sky atmosphere, skylight, volumetric 02:39.910 --> 02:42.850 cloud and get these kind of out of the way. 02:42.880 --> 02:49.360 Their location doesn't really matter, so I'm just dragging them up and away. 02:49.690 --> 02:54.610 Now, if we bring anything into the world, I can just set its location. 02:54.700 --> 03:01.600 I can go into my dungeon folder where I have some assets and I can take one of my three by three tiles, 03:02.140 --> 03:09.160 sim tile three by three a for example, and I can just set its Z to zero. 03:09.190 --> 03:14.710 That will put it down at the zero location of the world and I can even zero it out. 03:14.710 --> 03:16.570 So it's completely in the origin. 03:16.930 --> 03:19.600 So that gives me something to work with. 03:19.600 --> 03:26.500 And if I have snapping on with a high grid snap value, I can duplicate this pretty easily and things 03:26.500 --> 03:28.090 will just snap together. 03:28.090 --> 03:35.800 So what I could do for tiles is every time I duplicate a tile, just kind of rotate it a little bit 03:35.800 --> 03:39.490 so it's not exactly at the same orientation. 03:39.490 --> 03:43.450 And that way we have something that looks somewhat different. 03:43.450 --> 03:46.780 And I also have a second variation of the tile here. 03:46.780 --> 03:52.000 And this one has one of those bricks kind of undone a little bit. 03:52.000 --> 03:53.500 It's my favorite one. 03:53.500 --> 03:55.990 I'm going to set this first at the origin. 03:57.100 --> 03:59.560 And then I'll just move it over. 04:00.440 --> 04:04.430 And it looks like I had duplicated that on accident. 04:04.610 --> 04:07.670 So now I have something that resembles tiles. 04:07.700 --> 04:09.860 It's a starting point, right? 04:10.100 --> 04:12.170 And I don't have the tab open right now. 04:12.170 --> 04:18.770 But if I go into window and show world settings, there's my World Settings tab and I can set my game 04:18.770 --> 04:20.690 mode to beep or a game mode. 04:20.690 --> 04:26.660 And that way if I have a player start, then aura will spawn in and that way we can make sure that our 04:26.660 --> 04:31.100 geometry isn't going to let us fall through the floor or anything like that. 04:31.100 --> 04:38.330 So I'm going to go to the Place Actors Panel and drag in a player, start right there and close that 04:38.330 --> 04:43.160 panel and just press play and make sure that everything works as expected. 04:43.160 --> 04:45.650 So all the tiles have collision. 04:45.680 --> 04:48.950 There's even collision on that one little loose tile there. 04:48.950 --> 04:51.800 So you can see it kind of steps up a little. 04:51.980 --> 04:53.750 So this is looking better. 04:53.750 --> 04:59.480 I'm not going to say it's looking good because the whole point of this video is to make this look good 04:59.480 --> 05:02.070 as opposed to the default sky. 05:02.070 --> 05:03.270 Everything's too bright. 05:03.270 --> 05:05.730 So we're going to go through this one by one. 05:05.880 --> 05:12.750 Now, it's generally a good idea to keep our geometry and our different level actors sorted out. 05:12.750 --> 05:21.150 So if you like, you can take those floor tiles there right click and you can move to a new folder. 05:21.150 --> 05:23.580 So clicking on create new folder. 05:23.610 --> 05:26.850 We have a folder that can contain those meshes. 05:26.850 --> 05:33.450 I'm just going to click on the folder, click on it again and call this dungeon meshes. 05:33.450 --> 05:36.870 You could just call it meshes, but dungeon meshes will do. 05:36.870 --> 05:40.890 And then we have lighting and all this other stuff except for the player start. 05:40.890 --> 05:44.100 Everything else is in lighting and for me, that's fine. 05:44.100 --> 05:45.240 I'm okay with that. 05:45.270 --> 05:51.630 So I'd like to go through these actors and lighting one by one until we have something that's looking 05:51.630 --> 05:53.820 a little bit more appropriate for what I want. 05:53.820 --> 05:58.920 So the first one I'm going to click on is directional light, and I'm going to change it a little bit. 05:58.920 --> 06:00.780 Let's go to the details panel. 06:00.780 --> 06:03.210 And first of all, it's a bit too bright. 06:03.210 --> 06:04.920 I think its intensity. 06:04.920 --> 06:06.270 It's it's six right now. 06:06.270 --> 06:13.260 I think it could go down to one and we'll have a lot less light and the light color, we can adjust 06:13.260 --> 06:14.580 this a little bit. 06:14.580 --> 06:30.360 I think I'm going to choose a red value of about 0.194618 and a green value of approximately 0.212231. 06:30.940 --> 06:36.640 And a blue value of about 0.296138. 06:37.310 --> 06:44.210 So we have this nice sort of grayish, almost blue color, and that's the light color that I'd like 06:44.210 --> 06:45.770 for my directional light. 06:45.800 --> 06:47.510 Now we can scroll down, though. 06:47.510 --> 06:49.310 There are other settings. 06:49.310 --> 06:55.310 We have temperature and we're using temperature and a higher and lower temperature is going to change 06:55.310 --> 06:56.470 the temperature of the light. 06:56.480 --> 07:01.850 If you know anything about color theory, the way I think of it is higher temperature is a bit bluer, 07:01.880 --> 07:05.810 lower temperature is a bit more red, kind of like fire. 07:05.840 --> 07:11.630 Hotter fire is generally bluer, going up to white at the highest temperatures and so on. 07:11.630 --> 07:13.520 So it's at 6500. 07:13.520 --> 07:15.290 I'm going to lower it slightly. 07:15.290 --> 07:22.940 I'm going to bring it just a little bit more into the red zone, but not much, 6400 as opposed to 6500. 07:22.970 --> 07:24.710 I'm pretty happy with that. 07:25.070 --> 07:25.520 All right. 07:25.520 --> 07:28.880 So I'm going to leave my directional light alone and move on. 07:28.880 --> 07:32.810 I don't think I need to touch the exponential height fog. 07:32.810 --> 07:35.780 If anything, I might change it later. 07:35.780 --> 07:39.440 If we want more fog, more visible fog in our world. 07:39.450 --> 07:44.640 For now, I'm going to leave it until all the other settings are set and then come back to it or not, 07:44.670 --> 07:47.010 depending on how I like the level. 07:47.010 --> 07:49.800 But I will go straight to my skylight. 07:49.800 --> 07:54.120 I'm skipping the sky atmosphere as well for now and for the sky light. 07:54.120 --> 07:58.860 I'd like to change the light color to something a little more bluish. 07:59.310 --> 08:02.790 Not really too too crazy with this. 08:02.820 --> 08:10.740 And we'll see this a little bit more once we change other parameters and the skylight becomes more reactive. 08:10.770 --> 08:16.500 But we'll come back to the skylight as we add a post-process volume and change it and make things look 08:16.500 --> 08:17.100 better. 08:17.100 --> 08:21.750 We'll come back and probably take that intensity scale and change it as well. 08:21.840 --> 08:23.640 Okay, so things are a little better. 08:23.640 --> 08:29.370 Not a whole lot, but we don't have a post-process volume in here and that's really what's going to 08:29.370 --> 08:30.360 make this thing pop. 08:30.360 --> 08:36.150 So I'm going to go into volumes, find myself a post-process volume and drag it in. 08:36.150 --> 08:42.240 And this can go up there with those other actors up and out of the way as its location. 08:42.240 --> 08:46.890 Doesn't matter if we set it to infinite extent, which is what we're going to do. 08:46.890 --> 08:52.710 So in the details panel, I'm going to search for infinite and check infinite Extent Unbound. 08:52.710 --> 08:55.050 And that way it affects the whole level. 08:55.050 --> 09:00.240 Now, once we start tweaking the Post-process volume, things are really going to start changing. 09:00.240 --> 09:06.390 But before we do that, remember that our Post-process volume needs to use a certain post-process material 09:06.390 --> 09:08.190 if we want our highlight effect. 09:08.190 --> 09:10.230 So I'm going to search for material. 09:11.350 --> 09:13.480 Expand post-process materials. 09:13.510 --> 09:15.310 Add one element to its array. 09:15.340 --> 09:23.170 Choose asset reference and I'm going to search for underscore, highlight, and get that highlight material 09:23.170 --> 09:23.830 in there. 09:23.830 --> 09:31.270 So that way our highlight material is going to work and after that we can just go through the Post-process 09:31.270 --> 09:34.060 volume and start changing properties here. 09:34.060 --> 09:40.660 And a lot of this stuff you can follow along with me if you like, but if I choose values that you would 09:40.660 --> 09:47.830 rather choose different values for, feel free because it's really going to change how things look and 09:47.830 --> 09:51.220 how things look is a matter of choice and style. 09:51.250 --> 09:51.840 Right. 09:51.850 --> 09:59.650 So in the Post-process volume, the first thing I like to change is if we search for EV, we have exposure 09:59.650 --> 10:00.300 here. 10:00.310 --> 10:07.360 I like to check both of these checkboxes and set them both to zero because I really am not a fan of 10:07.390 --> 10:08.590 that exposure. 10:08.620 --> 10:15.380 Now this is that annoying feature that when you go into the shadows, your eyes sort of slowly adjust. 10:15.380 --> 10:19.290 And when you come out of the shadows, it takes a while for your eyes to adjust. 10:19.310 --> 10:20.660 That's a real headache for me. 10:20.660 --> 10:21.650 I really don't like it. 10:21.650 --> 10:28.700 I want a constant level of lighting and I don't want it to mimic eyes adjusting. 10:28.700 --> 10:32.930 Now, as soon as I set them both to zero, notice where quite a bit darker, right? 10:32.930 --> 10:40.850 And for that reason, I'll go right back over to our skylight and we're going to up that intensity scale 10:40.880 --> 10:44.540 by just a bit, probably something like 50. 10:44.570 --> 10:48.920 Now we're still dark, but notice that we can see the ground a bit better. 10:48.920 --> 10:54.500 That skylight is going to adjust the amount that we can actually see objects in here. 10:54.500 --> 10:56.390 Now we'll add more objects as well. 10:56.390 --> 11:02.360 But notice that with an intensity scale of a higher value, like 100, notice that the ground is a lot 11:02.390 --> 11:05.690 brighter, lower it to 25 and it's a bit darker. 11:05.690 --> 11:09.620 I find with these settings, 50 is just about pretty nice. 11:09.620 --> 11:16.580 And if we want to really adjust our values, we should probably have more than just this monochrome 11:16.580 --> 11:17.180 blue. 11:17.210 --> 11:21.940 We should have objects in here with other colors so we can kind of compare. 11:21.950 --> 11:26.860 So for that reason, I'm going to add a couple more of the assets from the dungeon. 11:26.870 --> 11:29.380 One of them is corner. 11:29.390 --> 11:37.130 So this corner is a piece that has the dungeon tiles, but it also has something that's a little bit 11:37.130 --> 11:38.960 more of a popping color. 11:39.110 --> 11:45.620 I'm going to go ahead and stick that in the corner there, and that gives us a little bit of some color. 11:45.620 --> 11:50.120 I'm going to go ahead and duplicate it and move it over. 11:50.120 --> 11:54.800 So we have one in the other corner as well, and then we can get an edge. 11:54.800 --> 11:58.490 We have an edge piece as well that we can use. 11:58.520 --> 12:03.770 It's called SM Edge and I believe we have a long one. 12:05.100 --> 12:06.630 Edge to buy one. 12:06.660 --> 12:14.330 Then there's also SM edge to buy two, and that one is a little bit wider in that dimension. 12:14.340 --> 12:19.320 So I think I'm going to take at least one of these and move it. 12:19.320 --> 12:26.970 I'm going to actually take its Z location and zero that so that it's down on the ground and easier to 12:26.970 --> 12:27.810 manage. 12:28.020 --> 12:35.220 And I'll go ahead and rotate it by 180 degrees and move it into place here and just see what we need. 12:35.250 --> 12:41.600 We might actually end up using a wider piece zeroing out that Z. 12:41.610 --> 12:45.030 I think I'd like to use the wider piece, so I'm going to delete this one. 12:46.170 --> 12:48.060 And use the wider piece here. 12:50.510 --> 12:54.890 And it's looking like this one when zeroed out. 12:54.890 --> 12:57.470 It actually needs to be lifted up just a bit. 12:57.470 --> 13:04.310 So we'll go ahead and change the snapping amount here to ten and lift it up. 13:05.060 --> 13:06.470 Just until it looks good. 13:06.470 --> 13:08.750 I might have to change it to five, actually. 13:10.520 --> 13:15.170 And snap one more down there and that's going to do it. 13:15.320 --> 13:19.100 Now, snapping increments back to 100. 13:19.130 --> 13:28.040 I'm going to go ahead and basically center this and then move my corners out, trying not to have any 13:28.040 --> 13:31.580 geometry overlapping as we can get z-fighting that way. 13:31.850 --> 13:38.840 And with that, I'm just going to put some edge rails and we'll just have a little bit of some geometry 13:38.840 --> 13:40.520 and we'll add more as we go. 13:40.520 --> 13:46.490 But I just want a little bit of color that will pop for us, so. 13:47.530 --> 13:50.800 Let's get some things in place here. 13:52.800 --> 13:56.610 And notice that we have some space here. 13:56.610 --> 14:01.970 I'm going to move this over and I have some filler geometry that we can use. 14:01.980 --> 14:07.350 I think a one by two or perhaps a three by two might work. 14:08.130 --> 14:10.230 A three by two is going to do it, I think. 14:10.850 --> 14:16.010 So rotating that by 90 and moving it in place. 14:16.010 --> 14:17.720 We have something we can use here. 14:19.340 --> 14:20.120 Okay. 14:20.270 --> 14:27.800 And I like this one with the loose tile, so I'm going to duplicate that and replace one of the other 14:27.800 --> 14:29.600 pristine ones with this. 14:29.600 --> 14:30.920 Probably this one here. 14:32.180 --> 14:36.950 Just so we have some loose tiles in there as well. 14:38.320 --> 14:39.070 Okay. 14:39.780 --> 14:49.530 Now, I'm going to go ahead and just take this whole side here, duplicate that, rotate it by 180 and 14:49.530 --> 14:50.760 bring it back. 14:50.760 --> 14:53.430 And that way we'll have something we can work with here. 14:53.430 --> 14:56.820 But I think this should be a little bit longer. 14:56.820 --> 14:58.800 So I'm going to get that tile set edge. 14:58.800 --> 15:01.350 The shorter one, I think it was this one. 15:01.350 --> 15:03.150 No, it was the other one. 15:04.340 --> 15:06.410 Tileset Edge two by two. 15:06.560 --> 15:09.530 And I'm going to just connect these here. 15:09.560 --> 15:14.930 See, if I can't manage to get something that's closed off properly. 15:15.580 --> 15:18.660 And this one is already at the correct height. 15:18.670 --> 15:24.090 Sometimes with these asset packs, you kind of have to adjust them as you see fit. 15:26.640 --> 15:32.850 So I'm going to fill this in and time lapse the rest of it, and then we'll continue. 15:41.200 --> 15:41.650 Okay. 15:41.650 --> 15:49.720 So notice that as I was going, I rotated some things and as I duplicated, you know, you can make 15:49.720 --> 15:52.900 it look like you're not reusing so many things. 15:52.900 --> 15:53.400 Right? 15:53.410 --> 16:00.370 Right Here I have one of those imperfect tiles with this sort of displaced tile here, and then I have 16:00.370 --> 16:01.240 one here. 16:01.240 --> 16:05.980 And, you know, next to each other, you can't really tell where one ends and one begins. 16:05.980 --> 16:07.690 So that's pretty nice. 16:07.690 --> 16:10.240 I'm going to go ahead and save all at this point. 16:10.240 --> 16:15.790 And now we have something that we can use to kind of contrast. 16:15.790 --> 16:17.290 It's not all blue. 16:17.320 --> 16:19.720 We have some different colors and things. 16:19.720 --> 16:25.630 And it can also help if we have some kind of particle systems in effect as well. 16:25.630 --> 16:29.290 And, you know, the more different colors we have, the better. 16:29.290 --> 16:30.460 Here's a beacon. 16:30.460 --> 16:32.620 I can put a beacon here at the corner. 16:32.620 --> 16:37.210 I could even probably scale it up if we wanted a larger beacon there. 16:37.210 --> 16:44.750 And we can take one of these pillars, static mesh pillar and place one of these at one of these locations 16:44.750 --> 16:47.450 here, maybe even put some fire on top of it. 16:47.450 --> 16:52.700 If we go to assets effects fire, we have the Niagara system fire. 16:52.700 --> 16:59.360 We can even put some fire there and just kind of see what that looks like with our lighting as well. 16:59.360 --> 17:02.570 So we'll put a couple of those little fire pillars. 17:02.720 --> 17:09.170 And that way we have something that's almost kind of resembles more a level. 17:09.170 --> 17:16.520 Now talking about collision, notice that we're getting blocked here, and as we move on, we're going 17:16.520 --> 17:18.740 to have to make sure that we handle collision. 17:18.740 --> 17:20.540 Notice I just fell through the floor there. 17:20.540 --> 17:22.520 We need to make sure we handle collision. 17:22.520 --> 17:28.880 For example, this tile, if I right click and edit it, I can show simple collision and notice there 17:28.880 --> 17:29.330 is none. 17:29.330 --> 17:32.300 So I need to add a box simplified collision. 17:32.300 --> 17:36.020 And then this corner has a problem as well, doesn't it? 17:36.020 --> 17:43.070 If I edit the corner, notice that if I show simple collision it's this automatically generated collision. 17:43.490 --> 17:48.710 I have to go to collision and remove collision and then handle that myself. 17:48.710 --> 17:55.430 Now if you're just working on a level and you don't want to deal with adding collision holes, a cheat 17:55.460 --> 18:02.360 is to search for complex and go to collision complexity and use complex collision as simple. 18:02.360 --> 18:06.110 Now, I don't recommend you do this for a ship game. 18:06.110 --> 18:08.420 For a ship game you should have collision halls. 18:08.420 --> 18:15.410 But if you don't want to be bothered right now to add the collision halls yourself, you can always 18:15.410 --> 18:16.280 use that. 18:16.310 --> 18:19.280 Just keep in mind it can't move after that. 18:19.490 --> 18:24.620 I'm just going to go ahead and really quickly add a collision hall for the corner here. 18:24.620 --> 18:30.410 But just know that if you're kind of in a hurry and you need to get things prototyped and working, 18:30.410 --> 18:32.750 you can use complex collision is simple. 18:32.750 --> 18:39.560 I just don't recommend shipping a game, especially if it has a lot of polygons in the geometry itself. 18:39.560 --> 18:46.450 But we're going to add a box simplified collision for this and just really quick going to bring it down. 18:46.460 --> 18:53.240 I'm going to turn off snapping for scale and just bring this collision down. 18:53.240 --> 18:56.420 I'm going to turn off snapping for translation as well. 18:56.420 --> 19:02.090 And if you really care, you can put collision boxes for these parts here. 19:02.090 --> 19:03.650 I'm not going to do that. 19:03.650 --> 19:08.810 And I'll just put some really basic blocks on the edges as well. 19:08.810 --> 19:10.400 So I'm going to add another box. 19:10.970 --> 19:12.530 I'm going to scale it in. 19:13.860 --> 19:15.270 I'm going to bring it over. 19:15.930 --> 19:17.610 And then holding alt. 19:17.610 --> 19:21.960 I'm going to duplicate that, rotate this by 90 degrees. 19:26.100 --> 19:27.570 And bring this over here. 19:28.190 --> 19:32.840 So this is going to give me a pretty good basic geometry. 19:33.850 --> 19:36.160 And if I go ahead and press play. 19:36.900 --> 19:38.700 Now I see that I can. 19:39.410 --> 19:40.730 Run up to the edge. 19:41.600 --> 19:45.710 So we're just going to want to make sure that our collision is set properly. 19:49.170 --> 19:54.240 And that none of the geometries we use are going to make us fall through. 19:54.240 --> 19:57.000 And it looks like this one here needs some geometry. 19:57.000 --> 19:59.280 So really quickly, I'm going to edit this. 19:59.280 --> 20:01.380 I'm going to time lapse it as I do so. 20:07.810 --> 20:08.230 Okay. 20:08.230 --> 20:16.690 So now that I think all of my geometry has collision holes and I should not be blocked by anything and 20:16.690 --> 20:22.330 I shouldn't be prevented from running around, I shouldn't fall through the floor or anything like that. 20:24.740 --> 20:27.020 Hopefully I don't fall through the floor as I say that. 20:27.050 --> 20:34.790 Now we can continue with our post-process volume now that we have some more contrast and we can compare 20:34.790 --> 20:36.680 the colors, I think it's always good. 20:36.680 --> 20:44.690 Don't work with monochrome all one shade as you're messing with your post-process volume and all of 20:44.690 --> 20:52.880 these new tiles here can go into my dungeon folder, my dungeon meshes folder. 20:52.880 --> 20:56.000 I can just drag them right into dungeon meshes there. 20:56.270 --> 20:59.360 That's going to make things a little bit easier to manage. 20:59.600 --> 21:04.280 Okay, so let's click on Post-process volume and finish up the Post-process volume. 21:04.280 --> 21:12.080 Let's make sure things look pretty good and even for a little more contrast, we can just go to assets, 21:12.110 --> 21:18.890 characters, aura and animations and just bring in her idle animation here just so we can see what aura 21:18.920 --> 21:21.950 looks like in the world as we're doing this as well. 21:21.950 --> 21:26.520 So there's aura we can compare the colors there. 21:26.670 --> 21:35.040 Okay, so post-process volume, let's go through it and make sure we have things set the way we want 21:35.040 --> 21:35.550 them. 21:35.550 --> 21:37.890 Now, I usually skip the bloom. 21:37.890 --> 21:40.050 We've already handled exposure. 21:40.050 --> 21:47.490 I'm going to scroll down to temperature and for temperature type, I'm going to use color temperature. 21:47.490 --> 21:54.030 That way I can set this temperature value and we can just kind of change its value. 21:54.030 --> 22:00.030 If you go to the extremes, you can see that the level is going to get much more red or much more blue, 22:00.060 --> 22:00.750 right? 22:00.750 --> 22:07.860 I'm kind of going for a bluish tint for this level, so I don't want to go too crazy with this. 22:07.890 --> 22:09.870 A lower temperature looks kind of cool. 22:09.870 --> 22:14.340 It's a little bit grayer, like we have some gray skies, but I'm going to go a little more into the 22:14.340 --> 22:15.150 higher temperatures. 22:15.150 --> 22:17.430 I'm going to use about 7500. 22:17.790 --> 22:24.690 And for the tint, again, play with this and see how the tent will change those colors a bit. 22:24.690 --> 22:30.390 I'm going to go up but slightly like really slightly 0.1, slightly. 22:30.390 --> 22:37.740 And even that has a noticeable change now, right under temperature we have global and these are some 22:37.740 --> 22:42.240 really nice ways to change just how your colors pop. 22:42.270 --> 22:46.950 You know, if you're looking at this and you're saying this is a little too dark or it's not really 22:46.950 --> 22:51.320 contrasted enough, these global settings are a good place to start. 22:51.330 --> 22:57.480 I'm going to check saturation so we can override saturation and we can just kind of see what things 22:57.480 --> 22:58.020 look like. 22:58.020 --> 23:01.230 I usually like to go up on the saturation a little bit. 23:01.260 --> 23:08.310 It's easy to go overboard and make this look really bad so I don't go too far, not much farther than 23:08.310 --> 23:10.170 0.05 away from one. 23:10.170 --> 23:13.050 And we can also change the color just a bit. 23:13.080 --> 23:19.950 I do go to the extremes when I'm looking at what it looks like, but then I kind of just stick close 23:19.950 --> 23:22.680 to the center if I change that color at all. 23:22.710 --> 23:25.590 So a little more on the saturation. 23:25.590 --> 23:28.110 The contrast too can go up a little bit. 23:28.110 --> 23:31.260 I usually go up by about 0.05. 23:31.260 --> 23:37.590 So again, drag it around and look, I like this saturation a little bit higher, but not much. 23:37.590 --> 23:40.380 And again, you can check out those colors as well. 23:40.380 --> 23:47.520 The saturation doesn't really need much on the color, but a little bit on the blue side. 23:47.610 --> 23:53.550 Gamma is another good way to kind of make things pop or brighten them a bit. 23:53.550 --> 24:00.720 I usually go a little bit darker on the gamma 0.950.96 or so. 24:00.720 --> 24:06.900 And you know, again, don't need to change the color too much, but if you do, I'm going to go a little 24:06.900 --> 24:11.070 bit into sort of the yellowish colors. 24:11.070 --> 24:18.180 And I'm noticing I kind of do like my saturation a little bit better when it's kind of more into the 24:18.180 --> 24:19.920 magenta quadrant. 24:20.790 --> 24:21.150 Okay. 24:21.150 --> 24:25.140 Scrolling back down, I typically don't mess with gain and offset. 24:25.140 --> 24:30.570 You can though, and the shadows are a nice way to do all of these adjustments. 24:30.570 --> 24:34.980 But for specifically the shadows, I really don't go too crazy with these. 24:34.980 --> 24:43.290 I'm going to do about 1.04 for the contrast and perhaps a little bit bluish on the color. 24:43.290 --> 24:44.340 I said contrast. 24:44.340 --> 24:47.160 This is saturation 1.04 for saturation. 24:47.160 --> 24:53.430 For contrast, I go even less 1.01 or so for Gamma. 24:53.460 --> 24:56.310 Again, I like to go a little bit on the darker side. 24:56.310 --> 24:59.010 So about 0.9 there. 24:59.010 --> 25:03.990 We have a little bit darker for the shadows and for the gain. 25:03.990 --> 25:07.140 I like to go a little bit on the darker side for the gain as well. 25:07.140 --> 25:13.080 So something like 0.97, it's really easy to go overboard with these. 25:13.320 --> 25:16.050 With the Midtones, I barely touch it. 25:16.050 --> 25:20.700 Maybe saturation 1.041.05. 25:20.730 --> 25:24.030 Contrast also a little bit on the lower side. 25:24.300 --> 25:26.190 .95 or so. 25:26.400 --> 25:32.520 And just taking a look up close at Aura, making sure that I really am okay with these colors. 25:32.520 --> 25:40.440 And if I'm not, I can go back and change things a bit with a more cartoony looking, stylized look. 25:40.470 --> 25:47.130 It's really nice to have a bit of a higher saturation, but it's easy to go too far, so I might go 25:47.130 --> 25:56.940 1.08 for the saturation there and all the way back up here for Global, we'll go about one point. 25:56.970 --> 25:58.200 1.1. 25:58.740 --> 26:01.170 Okay, so that's global and shadows. 26:01.170 --> 26:04.950 We got some midtones highlights I rarely touch. 26:04.950 --> 26:10.680 That's just, you know, changing the highlights can make it look a little bit too crazy, a little 26:10.680 --> 26:13.110 bit over tampered with. 26:13.110 --> 26:15.020 I'm going to leave those alone. 26:15.030 --> 26:17.940 One kind of cool effect is the film grain. 26:17.940 --> 26:26.530 If we scroll down to film grain, you can add some film grain if you want that sort of film grainy look, 26:26.560 --> 26:27.520 take it all the way up. 26:27.520 --> 26:29.140 If you want to see what film grain does. 26:29.140 --> 26:36.010 It's just this sort of grainy texture over everything I like a little bit, but I tend to not really 26:36.010 --> 26:37.210 go too crazy with it. 26:37.210 --> 26:43.210 0.0110.015 is generally enough for me. 26:43.760 --> 26:50.000 So after all that, we can now see that with the post-process effects, I feel like things are looking 26:50.000 --> 26:50.880 a bit better. 26:50.900 --> 26:53.330 We don't have any light sources or anything yet. 26:53.330 --> 26:57.350 So it's this is basically the dark of our dungeon. 26:57.350 --> 27:00.200 This is how dark it's going to be at the darkest. 27:00.230 --> 27:06.110 You know, I haven't created a torch actor with a point light on it or anything like that. 27:06.140 --> 27:13.250 We could drag in a point light if we wanted to see what a point light looks like in our dungeon, you 27:13.250 --> 27:18.650 know, perhaps change its color to a little bit softer of a glow. 27:18.950 --> 27:21.260 And we could see what that kind of looks like. 27:22.170 --> 27:26.730 Ideally it would be pulsing with that flame will take care of that later. 27:26.730 --> 27:27.870 But there we go. 27:27.870 --> 27:33.660 We can see what it looks like there with a point light and I've got my settings at maximum. 27:33.660 --> 27:39.990 So what I'm going to do as I'm developing is turn those scalability settings down a bit. 27:40.200 --> 27:41.820 I'm on Epic for everything. 27:41.820 --> 27:46.800 I'm going to go down to high and that should help me out a little bit there. 27:49.390 --> 27:52.840 And if that's too much, I can even go down to Medium. 27:56.000 --> 28:01.040 So change that if you're getting some issues with your performance as well. 28:02.070 --> 28:03.750 Okay, so this is looking good. 28:03.780 --> 28:05.760 I'm liking what I see. 28:05.760 --> 28:15.180 I think I'm going to want a nice actor for my torch or my flame pillar so that I can see some pulsing 28:15.180 --> 28:18.320 dynamic lighting in the world and see what that looks like. 28:18.330 --> 28:24.330 And we'll add some geometry so that as we're testing, we'll get some obstacles and learn how to deal 28:24.330 --> 28:24.960 with those. 28:24.960 --> 28:30.300 So great job in this video and always with this level design stuff. 28:30.300 --> 28:32.040 Feel free to make it your own. 28:32.070 --> 28:35.520 You don't have to copy me exactly, but if you do, that's okay too. 28:35.670 --> 28:38.910 So excellent job and I'll see you in the next video.
