[UE4] Floating Island Environment

ANıL İŞBİLİR

Started to work on a floating island concept with the advice of a friend, I'm going to try and finish this with the least amount of assets as possible. I have the heightmap and the masks for now. I should be able to reuse some of the vegetation from previous projects.

Some of the materials for the outer regions of the island. I am thinking of pine trees and lush vegetation for the inner regions.

Wow!!! totally love it so far would it be possible to make the bottom part of the land mass a bit bigger? to make it look like it is a huge chunk of land that has broken off from a planet???

EDIT: and the underlying rock formation to have a more cracked/broken feel?

Worked on the landscape a bit, it turned out great, now i have to round the edges a bit, i'm thinking of using a masked material and mask out the edges. Not sure how that will turn out.

Finally managed to cut the edges, also with the addition of the skysphere i was able to adjust the lighting. I deleted the skylight and manually added 3 more direct lights to the scene because I needed dynamic indirect lighting and the skylight only generated the sky texture once when the level was generated. More on why I needed the dynamic lights after I work on the bottom a bit.

Finished the rock shapes, going to populate the landscape by hand, shouldn't take long, after that should add an asteroid belt, not sure how to tackle it.

I thought there should be a backstory to the scene, why it is floating in space, here is the controls to the island. Not sure where should I place it yet, going to try different places as I finish the scene.

Finished the project, I might tweak it further to make it more interesting this week. Otherwise I'm planning to submit it for the marketplace soon.

Greet job!

@Mythran Thanks, I cant remember if I replied to you or not, its been a while since i've been active here. And no, its actualy the Unreals own landscape system, I just masked out the edges a bit, otherwise its a really standard landscape.
