I’ve made an advanced and most important, modular landscape material with a pretty nice performance and some nifty material functions in it, which I made with the help of Rodrigo Villani. Something you can learn from or just use it as your own. So I decided, after reading dozens of forum threads or watching tutorials, it’s about time to give something back to you guys. Besides that, creating natural landscapes is kind of a niche in CG and that’s makes it’s even harder to find proper ressource. You’ll find some tutorials out there about landscape materials, but a lot of them incomplete or just a fraction of what you need for your landscape.

These tools are the fundament for my landscape creation workflow, but when the work is there done, I ended up in Unreal with a grey landscape without much character to it. I decided to look for something different and ended up using Houdini with the Gaea Bridge. The results were amazing, but the usability was and still is a pain. My journey began with World Machine and I started to love and hate it.

In the last year I learned a lot about landscape creation and besides Unreal, I used a lot of different tools to get the result I was looking for. Hi guys, Auke here.Visual Storyteller and Lead Environment Artist at Sooii.
