Recreating Italian Street With Megascans Assets

For this week’s digest, we picked 5 materials from Megascans Library that might help you recreate a cute, summerish Italian street. Check them out!

We decided to choose a quite bright but simple scene with diverse surfaces, so you can experiment with textures, colors, and details. For this digest, we took 5 base assets that might come in handy for recreating this particular scene or a similar one.

1. Cracked Asphalt

Starting from the ground, we suggest trying cracked asphalt. You can add little details to it if you want. Such an uneven ground surface reminds of old European streets, right?

2. Rubber Flooring

The building walls have 2 different textures, and we found 2 assets that can work for upper and lower parts. Rubber Flooring will look nice as the upper, more smooth part of the wall. Just change the color, and you are ready to go!

3. Rough Concrete

For the lower part, Rough Concrete will be a perfect choice to create an uneven rocky surface. Adjust the color, and it’s all good.

4. Cordyline

You can get as creative as possible with the details of the scene. Find the plants you think will work best. If you are trying to recreate this particular place, then check out this cordyline that can be a good match for the scene.

5. Mile-a-minute Vine

These flowers can grow along the wall, which makes them a perfect thing for balconies. You can use this one or pick a similar asset. It’s up to you!

As we've mentioned in the beginning, these are only base materials, so look through the Megascans Library for more details and textures.
