Jade Forest - UE4 Recreation

Had a great time making this piece, especially as I was utilising concept art from a close friend. I wanted to practice set dressing and lighting from a concept and developed some unique tools to transform the materials to fit the image.

 I set up a vertex painting material for the trees so I could paint emissive qualities, and also set up vertex painting for the foliage so I could cycle through colours rather than making a whole bunch of different coloured materials. Textures were a mix of my own and Megascans'.
