Custom Painted Terrain

illbleed

I was wondering how i can learn to create my own custom terrain? the terrain thats built into the terrain editor is nice, but i don't think it would fit the art style i want for my scene. Any idea if just creating a 512 x 512 map in photoshop or mudbox with normal map and bringing that into unreal engine 4 would work. I've been searching but i haven't found how to do this. Im assuming i need to create a seamless texture. I also don't know what size i would need to make this.

Is there something like this in unreal engine 4?

It looks very stylized.

heres a style more specific. For their terrains especially rock walls look like they painted everything individually.

The tools are basically the same. What you're looking for are handpainted textures.

Some tutorials about how to paint in that style.
