I used rhino to build the room model, and imported to the UE5. Then I learned some skills about changing the materials and creating the object. Finally, I create a camera and record a video.

For this modeling project, I chose my dorm room, where I lived for five years during my undergraduate studies. What makes this space unique is that the four of us shared a very compact room, creating an interesting case for modeling in terms of spatial constraints. I started by building the model in SketchUp and…

I modeled my room in SketchUp and imported it into Unreal Engine using Datasmith. I’m not sure what the issue is, but after importing, the mouse cursor was not visible in the viewport, making it impossible to make adjustments. Most of the materials applied in SketchUp worked as expected, but some walls were cut off…

I used SU to build a model of my room and imported it into UE5, the two software through the plug-in can be very good linkage, and finally I set up the camera to make a video.

The 3D model was created in Rhino and then imported into Unreal Engine using Datasmith for seamless integration. However, the movement within Unreal Engine is currently problematic—it feels excessively fast, making navigation difficult. Also materials are a bit tricky to handle at first.

Rhino Modeled Bedroom Imported to UE. A bit rough, learning to change materials and move objects.

Created the model in Rhino, then directly opened in Unreal Engine through its plugin Datasmith. Interested to expand the material library they have. Still need to figure out placement/movement of objects.
