Foliage with the exception of water lotus are from Quixel and SpeedTree

The wall was made by conforming modular wall pieces to a spline through a blueprint. To improve performance, this was baked to a single static mesh within Unreal Engine using the Merge Actors command.

Repetition is broken up by grunge decals. Decals in the scene share a single texture sheet and are picked using UV coordinate parameters and material instances.

For certain trees in the far distance, I imported models from SpeedTree and rendered them as flat images in Marmoset Toolbag to use as billboards.

A material instance in Unreal Engine 5 controls the UV offset in order to switch between two variations.

Low poly meshes are optimized for performance and normals driven detail.

Several meshes use multiple UV maps for texture detailing, 1:2 and 1:4 resolution textures where appropriate, and decals for better looking materials.

Wall Bricks Textures

This trim sheet is used in the brick section on the Chinese wall.

Moon Arch Texture Atlas

It was necessary to break the swirl section of the moon arch into UV shells in order to properly display the white molding.

Red Wood Textures

Base color, normal, and roughness textures for the red wood in the Chinese terrace.

UVs are stretched in order to use a 1:4 texture, as this allows more texture variation for the poles.
