Wanted to delve into using world machine and UE4 to explore compositions and terrain materials. Any feedback is appreciated

Forgot to add I use the amazing Geoglyph middleware developed by Quadspinner in world machine

The lava scene is just incredible. Some of the other scenes have an almost painted look to them too. Awesome work.

I'm really no expert, but I'd like to drop in and say this looks really great. I'm curious however about the amount of post processing work on these screenshots. It kinda looks like a lot of the smoke/clouds and a few other things were added afterwards in photoshop? Could you give a breakdown of the different components? Or maybe an "in editor" screenshot?

It's a combination of translucent cloud texture materials in UE4 and some cloud brush Photoshop work, as well as the atmosphere and height fog assets for atmospheric perspective. I'll try to get some breakdown screenshots posted soon.

I'd say 4 hours in world machine, then 1,2 hours in UE4, then 1,2 hours in photoshop, the rock assets take about a day or two to make.

I love the look of the rock formations/mountains around the Crater shot. Could you post a shot of the node graph of that scene? Really interested to see what you did for those.

Alien Landscape Study rendered in Ue4. Assets took about 1 day apiece to complete. Using allot of Zbrush's array mesh feature to get the fractal shapes.
