City Starter Visual Styles

The City Starter template highlights the process and techniques you can use to design the look of a city within Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN).

This island contains a little slice of New York City, lit and stylized to make the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) feel right at home! Play through the template to experience a low and high viewpoint of the city.

This guide reviews the steps the team took to conceptualize and build the look of the template. It covers the following areas:

• Designing visuals from concept
• Approaches to asset layout
• Post-processing techniques
• Additional style techniques: custom skybox, lighting, and windows
• Ideas to expand the experience

Check out the post-processing, skybox, and custom lighting, and to learn how to create awesome stylized visuals.

This is not a game play tutorial. The map does not include barriers in the level. You can add them as you build for your own experience with assets like the Barrier device. To learn how to build an arcade game mode, including a side scroller camera and custom user interface (UI), see the TMNT Arcade Template.
