Creating a Terrain

Now that I am familiar with creating terrains in UE4 I have thinking about what type of landscape I will create, I have several ideas like a desert, however this may not work as deserts don’t really have a lot in them other than sand so there’s not really a lot of thing that I could create for this landscape other than cactuses.  Alternatively, I could create a forest scene with lots of different foliage or maybe a deserted tropical island with palm trees.

I have decided to create a deserted tropical island, I am going to create grass and palm trees as my foliage and I’m also going to use the rock the I created previously in Mudbox while also creating a variety of other rocks that I will also be putting into my landscape.  I am going to use the geometry mode to do this and will be putting to use the skills that I have acquired previously in this mode.

Here you can see that I have sculpted my landscape for my deserted island.

So far I think its looking good, I would like to have added a little more detail to it as I think that my skills at sculpting a landscape have hugely improved, however as I is a small deserted island there is not really a lot more that I can do when it comes to sculpting my landscape.  Overall I am very happy with this result.
