Landscape Layer Masking is finally available in Surface Scatter! This makes the Dash scatter workflow in Unreal Engine 5 better for projects where you use landscapes and paint layers. #3d #unrealengine5 #gamedev #environmentart #realtimerendering

ReShapeX: Civic Space after Nature This project envisions a piece of architecture characterized not by the global form but by unique stone figures. These figures determine material assembly, allowing for rearrangement and the reconfiguration of space over time as the building gets rebuilt.

WIP( Personal Project) An environment layout and lighting test in UE5, The scene is inspired by John Park’s awesome concept, I’d try to get a similar atmosphere of mystery, warm, peaceful feel from the original concept. The scene is created using a combination of Quixel, SpeedTree and manual modelling. I’m thinking about replacing some closeup assets, such as wood log and some rocks with my photogrammetry collection. #3DArt #ConceptArt #EnvironmentArt #lighting #UnrealEngine

Rendering Walkthrough Lumion 12. 1920x1080 55min

A little glimpse from my WIP Architectural visualization project. Tried some hyper realistic lighting using Lumen Global Illumination system in Unreal Engine 5. Excited to share my whole Arch Viz renders with all of you guys. If anyone have any suggestions please let me know.😁 . . #unrealengine #unrealengine5 #archviz #archvizartist #architecturalvisualization #lumen #quixelbridge #virtualproduction

What techniques can be used to create seamless transitions between different biomes or environments in Unreal Engine? Height-based Blending: Use elevation data to naturally transition materials, such as rocks fading into grass as the terrain flattens . Slope-based Texturing: Automatically apply different textures based on slope rocky surfaces on steeper areas and grass on flatter sections. Procedural Foliage: Use procedural tools to generate vegetation unique to each biome, like desert plants or forest trees. Post-Processing Volumes: Adjust lighting and fog to create smooth transitions in visual tone between biomes. World Partitioning: Stream biomes as the player moves, keeping transitions smooth and maintaining performance. These techniques create cohesive, realistic environments with seamless biome transitions in Unreal Engine.

Id like to share a short clip that I rendered of my site model for my Y4 Studio project. Its a view looking from a small island within the western archipelagos in Sweden, just north of Gothenburg. I have been working to push the photorealism of this landscape as far as possible, building various procedural tools and optimising them so that they work at all scales. To create this, a range of techniques was used; I took satellite LIDAR data and constructed a heightfield in SideFX Houdini - this model represents the real world location’s terrain as closely as possible. The geometry was ported into Blender. I then spent time developing a procedural water shader, with small wave noise, and larger patches of variation in reflectivity, an ambient occlusion masked foam shader for the shores, volumetric scattering etc, all based off photo and video reference I took around the site. I then built a procedural volumetric sky system from scratch, which gives me amazing control over cloud formations, cloud cover and sun ray scattering. I prefer this approach to the usual HDRI setup by far. I have since improved this to include greater control over sunsets, and including a toggle to reveal the stars of the milky way between the clouds at night. Im looking forward to developing this further to include time based geo-located sun path tracking, and more cloud types. Lastly, I painted on vertex masks and built a scattering system for overlapping layers of rocks, grass and trees, matching the layout as closely as I could to the real island. This has put me in a really good position to regularly produce WIP renders of my building for crits and tutorials (which will sit along the western shore of the island, projecting onto the water) as it develops.
