Countryside Pub Garden

I’m thrilled to share my latest environment - a secluded Pub Garden nestled within a quiet patch of countryside. In this project I explored modular workflows, foliage systems, lighting, and material creation inside Unreal Engine 5. It pushed me to refine my pipeline from the earliest block-out to the final beauty shots.

Primary Hero Shot.

Alternative angles and intimate details of the garden seating.

Late‑afternoon lighting designed to produce long shadows, warm tones, and natural patchy lighting.

Foreground framing, leading lines, and rule‑of‑thirds composition guide the viewer into the heart of the pub garden.

Base Colour only - The Colour palette combines earthy greens and browns with bright primary umbrellas to contrast nature and man‑made elements.

Four‑stage workflow: blockout, terrain and foliage pass, mesh placement, and final lighting polish.

Procedural trees and foliage meshes created to frame the composition and add natural depth to the garden.

Props modelled include tables, umbrellas, a tyre swing, and structures. Extra assets used: Medieval House 3 (Animau), Necro’s Utility Material Pack, and Temperate Vegetation by Project Nature.

Main shot displayed in wireframe mode to highlight mesh density, modular construction, and optimised topology throughout the scene.

Shader complexity kept mostly in the green range by limiting translucency, managing overdraw, and using strict culling distances.

Lighting complexity view showing the scene running entirely in the low‑cost blue range, ensuring efficient performance across the environment.

A selection of materials and decals created for the scene, including wood, grass, dirt, and branded umbrella graphics.

Textures and decals used across the environment, kept under 2K for performance and instanced in Unreal for efficient memory use.
