[UE4] Tropical Island
polycounter lvl 8
Hi everyone,
Just started a new personal project, this time its a tropic island. I am aiming to improve my natural formation models, materials and learn more about vegetation modeling. If it all goes well I might add more human elements, like a coastal village/ shipwrecks. I started with the landscape and the created some of the basic materials in designer. (Rock material was photoscanned)

Finished most of the vegetation models. Moving on to smaller details, rocks, branches, leaves.
New detail meshes, smaller rocks, leaves, branches. Hollowed trunks are made with reused textures from trees, they are not very detailed compared to others, but i think its enough for now, maybe replace them later.
'Megascans' was there!
Could you give me a breakdown on the material below?
I have always wondered how you would go about making something like this!
Thanks,
Not much to this material really, you can use fresnel in your wet materials to achieve the reflective edges. I used the same normal map of my other sand material, tuned it down a bit, blurred some areas. Also you can use a low metalness value to have a darker, wetter effect. (Not sure if its the correct way to use metalness)
Really like some of the stuff here though, those rock and sand textures from the first post are lovely, and the scene itself i think is coming along!
