Here's an environment I created in Unreal Engine 5.3

I decided to make this environment as render scene for a character I'm currently working on (updates soon!).

First of all, using the Landscape mode on Unreal Engine, I created the higher and lower grounds to delineate a muddy path

Then, using some Quixel assets I created a layout of trees and bushes to surround the environment, adding grass and plants to fill up the ground using the Foliage mode.

I decided to use only a Directional light to light up the scene, as I wanted to give it a "moon lighted" effect.

After that I fixed and setted up the ExponentialHeightFog, the SkyLight, the SkyAtmosphere and the VolumetricCloud to make it look more dark and mysterius.

Last thing, to add some magic and fantasy atmosphere, I created a Niagara system to simulate some fireflies flying around, giving them a simple emissive map to slightly light up the scene.

For the render, I used the sequencer settings and the graph editor to animate the cameras during the render, creating some camera's movements and focal lenght changes during the animations.

Hope you enjoy the final results!
