Fortnite POI (WIP)
Coastal Point of Interest
About
[Unnamed] is a small POI tucked away within a coastal redwood forest. Located on the edge of the Battle Royale island, it's a drop zone that sacrifices storm rotation for a quieter looting phase.
Project Duration: July 2026 - Current
Software
- UEFN
Responsibilities
- Designing POI from blockout to partial set dressing (in progress)
- Greybox the level with UEFN greybox assets (and Chapter 7 windows and textures)
- Populating the POI with loot chests
Initial Blockouts
Initial boathouse and warehouse placement.
The Process
- I initially started this project inspired by some of the Fortnite assets I had seen while browsing through the Chapter 7 folders. I was really drawn to the props of Squibbly Shores, and the redwood trees of Battlewoods. My main goal was to familiarize myself with the UEFN workflow and design a named location I could see myself landing at.
- My secondary goal for this project was to explore the UEFN playset feature (which is why this project is floating in the Unreal Engine void). I want to be able to drag and drop this completed build into an island without worrying too much about the surrounding visuals.
- I had started this POI by creating the red and white warehouse along the water, as I felt it would be the focal point of this project.
- Once I created the initial design for it, I locked in my visual design for this project and began collecting my references.
