Edward Denton, a talented 3D Artist, Designer, and Art Director, has recently unveiled Islandia, a sizeable 16 km2 landscape created to get more familiar with a streamlined 3D environment production pipeline.
Inspired by Iceland's scenery, the scene was made using World Creator, Megascans assets, and Unreal Engine 5.3, as well as Unreal's Procedural Content Generation (PCG), a robust framework that lets its users quickly and easily populate large scenes with assets. "Small rock, boulders, tall grass, shrubs, and trees all generated with 1 PCG graph pulling info from 7 Landscape Layers and affected by terrain height, slope, and splines," commented the creator.
And here are some behind-the-scenes demos for Islandia shared by Edward over on Twitter:
