Inspired by "The Phantoms" by Nicholas Gekko https://www.artstation.com/artwork/68nYZO. This project served to give myself more exposure to Unreal 5 and it's new technologies. As such, it is lit exclusively with Lumen and Nanite is used as often as possible. Custom assets are using a custom Layered Material setup as well as a custom Landscape Material based on this tutorial series by Unreal Sensi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hmRN8bXMM0. Additionally, this was my first foray into building terrain with World Machine.
