An Awesome Series of Dark Souls-Style Environments in UE5

3D Artist Jonathon Gregory Bick presented a stunning new environment project titled Towers of Golden Guidance. This picturesque scene was made with UE5, Maya, ZBrush, SpeedTree, Photoshop, Substance 3D Designer, Marmoset Toolbag, World Machine. The artist also noted he used photogrammetry and Nanite to set up the project. One of the coolest things about this piece is how the fog and lights were used to set up a contrast between different layers of the landscape. The materials created for the scene are also top-notch. 

Let's check out the results below:
