Process
I utilized various resources and assets, such as metahumans and Quixel Bridge, to create this environment.
Using Meta Human Creator, I created a character to be featured sitting under a tree. I began by selecting the facial structure and facial hair, ensuring they were well-matched. I then selected clothing that would convey a sense of relaxation for the character.
After that, I visited Mixamo to obtain an animation that I could use as a base for my character's animation. After finding an appropriate animation, I created an Unreal Engine project and designed a landscape. Within the landscape, I utilized Quixel Bridge to create trees and Blender to add custom foliage around the trees. Then, I added a large sphere to represent a distant planet in the sky and used the built-in sky system to simulate the transition from day to night.
