Waterlily Pond

Here's the personal project I was working on lately on my free time. I wanted to make a real-time stylized environment scene on UE4 for a while now and this is the result. I'm quite satisfied with how it turned out and I really learned a lot about UE4, environment art and lighting during this project. I had fun making all the assets and then putting them inside the scene while taking care of the composition and colors. I wanted my scene to have a serene and peaceful atmosphere with vibrant dusk tones. The weeping willow was challenging but by studying how this tree works and how several games made their weeping willows, I managed to make my own one. This is my favorite tree so I really wanted one in my scene. I also painted all my foliage textures on Photoshop. This environment was at first a lot bigger but I decided to cut inside of it and to keep only a part and concentrate my efforts on this smaller scene. I would like to thank Céleste Ebran who gave me advices and helped me with the lighting and polishing stage, and everyone who also helped me and gave me feedbacks during the process. I hope you'll like the result!
