This is one of the Environments created for Quixel's 'Ninety Days' project, during which each individual artist in our team was tasked with completing as many different environment as possible, all in a timespan of 90 days.
Take a look at the complete "Ninety Days" release right here: https://youtu.be/ca2ME4Wy0eM
This scene I think came together in roughly one day or so. Its based on an unrelease project I have worked on together with my amazing colleagues Wiktor Öhman and Jakob Keudel. I could just fly around the environment until I found a nice looking spot (this area was set dressed by Jakob I think). Then I reworked some of the set dressing, added some trees, mountains, camping assets and reworked the lighting.
At first I was planning to make the mountain be a lot more like Mount Fuji. But then I started getting worried that Mount Fuji might be copyrighted or something so I went for more the "generic" mountain look.
Everything for 'Ninety Days' was created using the Epic Games and Quixel Ecosystem, meaning we used Megascans, Metahumans, Sketchfab and the Epic Marketplace.
A massively heartfelt thankyou to the amazing people I get to work alongside with:
