Import objects into Unreal 4 to build your side-scroller level intelligently and set up materials using the PVR workflow textures from the previous section, with lighting and atmospheric effects.

Learn to prepare a modular Unreal 4 side-scroller by texturing and exporting objects, realigning pivot points for snap-based level building, and exporting as SBX meshes with world zero centering.

Launch Unreal 4 and create a side scroller project, import textures and models, organize folders, and navigate with WASD and mouse to begin an empty level in unlit view.

Snap objects to a 10-unit grid and place them at world origin to build the level. Add lights, cables, and a center platform, test collisions, and preview the parallax effect.

Build base-stage and back-wall materials in Unreal 4 by wiring albedo, normal, ambient occlusion, roughness, and metallic/specular maps, using a one-minus node to invert roughness, and adjust emissive brightness.

build and tune unreal engine 4 materials by wiring albedo, metallic, emissive, and roughness textures with one minus, multiply, and clamp nodes. visualize platform, vents, wires, and camera during play.

Unreal 4: create a pulsing light by using time and cosign nodes with the emissive map, and enhance atmosphere with post-process effects like vignette, bloom, and ambient occlusion.

Create and bake light maps for static meshes, place and tune lights, and use light mass importance volumes, reflection captures, and post-process effects to shape a blue atmosphere in Unreal 4.
