Unreal Engine 4 is first and foremost a game engine meant for game developers, but don’t let that stop you from exploring the amazing things it can do for your Architectural Visualization projects. And mind you, this industry leading tech is completely free for ArchViz purposes.
As 3d artists, we’re already familiar with the general workflow involved in creating a CG scene, but we seldom do any coding work. With UE4’s blueprint scripting system, you no longer need to code in C++, but can easily achieve the same using a node system. By extending our existing knowledge of 3ds Max and VRay, we can start creating photorealistic interactive visualizations faster than ever.

And to make your learning process even easier, there’s nothing better than analyzing some great fully-finished UE4 Visualization scenes. You can learn so much from downloading these scenes for further exploration. So let’s go ahead and look at some awesome free scenes and the things you can learn from them.
Download links for Unreal Engine 4 Scenes:
1. NutNutDesign Packaged Scene
Interior scene with superb details and GI quality. This scene is available as a pre-packaged executable without the associated project files. It’s a fabulous example of how the finished project would look like with its menu system and interactive options, ready to be sent to a client. This scene is packed with interactive elements such as a music player and color pickers for furniture and demonstrates the capabilities of the Unreal Engine.
This scene is a great example of how you can create the complete environment around the house, with all areas open for exploration. They even added some hidden rooms for you to discover. Also, you can study the blueprint nodes for creating similar effects in your project.
3. Lightroom: Interior Day Light Scene with Project Files
One of the earliest free projects available directly from the UE4 launcher, this scene was prepared by the community member Koola showcasing complex material setups, SpeedTree’s foliage system and the Lightmass GI setup. A great example for analyzing in this scene is the particle snowfall.
4. Xoio’s Berlin Flat Scene with Project Files
Another simple monotone interior scene project by the studio XOIO which you can directly from the UE4 launcher. Some unique things to note are the bed model and the scanned 3d human model used in this scene. This is a very basic scene which should be ideal for beginners to UE4.
