Divinity Restored

"Be still, and bare yourself before thine Lord."

This project was created to develop a better understanding of how SpeedTree can be used for creating environments. I had a lot of fun experimenting with how SpeedTree could benefit my current workflow and help speed up my production process.

I was responsible for creating everything in this scene. The ground, bark and structure textures were provided by Quixel and I had the pleasure of using the CrazyIvy plugin to generate the vines!

I used a couple of different techniques to tie everything together and create a scene that was still unique. I created my own tree bark normal map to blend on top of the hero tree in Unreal Engine. I also used two uv channels to create a mask for edgewear that helped blend additional details onto my assets without having to bake out textures for every piece.
