Very realistic, i picked up a few tricks along the way. Whats your take on using plane with high-res image VS dome HDRI (i.e HDRI backdrop) in projects like this? Thanks.

For anyone downloading the Gaea file, in community version at least, make sure in the slope node, before the penultimate combine, to uncheck the "classic style" beneath the falloff slider. This needs to be done so that the masking is correct to import into unreal.

@Perqd Месяц назад

Hey im pretty new to unreal (but 4 years of unity and have 10 years of programming experience), I love this video but I think alot of people could profit from an in depth tutorial because it would be a good starting point. Would love to use this in game dev. I think a "Create a photorealistic game mountain landscape in UE5" would do well since alot of people using the unreal engine want to make games or videos. Still a great video i really enjoyed watching it and it has a super great result! Still I'll try to replicate what you have done, but from my experience with unreal you can run into different problems with different tools at any point and it can cost hours of research (which is not lost knowledge but still a full tutorial would be great) :)

Yep you're correct. A lot of people could benefit from that type of tut. Maybe it will come in the future but for now I make the art that I want (:

Any reason you import the terrain as a static mesh as opposed to using the landscape of UE5? / Do you use the virtual textures to blend the quixxel assets? great video:)
