This created a very <em>Myst\/Riven<\/em> aesthetic that I was quite pleased with. Ultimately I wanted to create an island layout similar to <em>Halo&#8217;s<\/em> Silent Cartographer level with an ascension from a beach to an inner island area, which was easy to punch in like a crater by adding a new Landmass layer. I then added painted textures, foliage and props, using assets from the UE Marketplace, most notably the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unrealengine.com\/marketplace\/en-US\/product\/tropical-jungle-pack\">Tropical Jungle Pack.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/ianconstable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HighresScreenshot00004-1-1024x560.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-92\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ianconstable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HighresScreenshot00004-1-1024x560.png 1024w, https:\/\/ianconstable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HighresScreenshot00004-1-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/ianconstable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HighresScreenshot00004-1-768x420.png 768w, https:\/\/ianconstable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HighresScreenshot00004-1-1536x840.png 1536w, https:\/\/ianconstable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HighresScreenshot00004-1-2048x1120.png 2048w, https:\/\/ianconstable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HighresScreenshot00004-1-1560x853.png 1560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This project gave me starting competency at making outdoor environments in Unreal Engine 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I created this map for the Beginning Unreal Engine course at San Diego Mesa college.
