turn a real place into a walkable Unreal Engine level with a 360 camera + Claude Opus 5.5..

all captured on location and running in ue5

the trick is capturing reality instead of modeling it

here’s the workflow:

• step 1: generate reference images of the temple city
• step 2: have opus 5.5 plan the map in unreal
• step 3: have opus model a modular kit in blender through mcp
• step 4: have opus combine the kit into building variants
• step 5: generate the complex props in tripo: stone lanterns, the pagoda etc.
• step 6: export everything to unreal and have opus place it by the plan: buildings, walls, courtyards, trees
• step 7: have opus set up lighting and a third-person player through epic’s claude code plugin
• step 8: run through every courtyard, then tell opus one fix at a time

i like this for game levels. a real place already has the right scale, layout and wear. you just bring it in
