Long Gone - Unreal 5 Foliage Technical Art Showcase
For this project I took a deep dive in procedural foliage workflows for Unreal Engine, with a large focus on Houdini's procedural content generation and how it interacts with Unreal's built in tools.
All 3D assets were either megascans, asset packs, or from the fab store.
