The Whispering Bend
Materials made in Substance Designer
The base water material was made in Substance Designer. Using UE4's Material Editor, I was able to bring the water to life by animating the normals.
Modular Asset Gym
Low poly geometry for trees and ruins
Low poly geometry for plants
High poly sculpts for ruins created in Zbrush
High poly sculpts for foliage, tree branches, and rocks created in Zbrush
UVs for all assets were done in Maya. For the ruins specifically, the textures are handpainted in Substance Painter.
Foliage textures were created procedurally using Substance Designer.
Across many generations, it has been told that the inscriptions on these ruins are those of a lost language. Though yet to be understood, it is thought that the secrets of these puzzling structures shall provide passage to the world unknown, but not forgotten. As the sun plummets past that earthly barrier and the lunatic’s moon rises, that which is most precious shall be revealed. Tread lightly however, for secrets pass softly and beauty can be deceiving.
This project was created following along to 3DEx's tutorial on Gumroad.
