I wanted to learn not just the artistic side but also the technical side of landscapes.
TERRAGEN TO UE4 HOW TO
I wanted to learn how to sculpt, how to create heightmaps, how to create materials, how to paint textures - everything. So I decided to immerse myself into learning everything I could about creating landscapes in UE4. The 6-Month Immersion Into UE4 Landscapes Not creating outdoor environments wasn't an option for me anymore. The pain of NOT creating terrains became overwhelming and I had enough. Something that looked good enough that I could share. I wanted to create a landscape with UE4 without feeling like a failure. I desperately WANTED to create landscapes that looked just like what I saw others create. Not creating landscapes or any outdoor environments for that matter began to really bother me. Every time I started creating a landscape and didn't get the results I wanted, I moved on to something I knew how to do. While it seems everyone is creating forests, deserts, snow themed and tropical environments, I was completely avoiding creating anything terrain related.

Yet another failed attempt at creating landscapes from 2018 How is it possible that I was using the same set of landscape tools as everyone else yet my terrains looked like crap? I was embarrassed to even show work-in-progress because I knew I couldn't finish it. If you look at the work I've done, it is missing one consistent element - LANDSCAPES.Įvery time I tried creating a landscape, it would turn out like garbage. Yet, I've AVOIDED creating any landscapes in UE4. Landscapes! The heart and soul of outdoor environments.
