In this module, we will focus on adding smaller props to your 3D environment, learning how to populate the scene with unique models that complement the larger structures. You'll master how to efficiently place these assets to add life to your world.

In this module, we will explore the use of surface decals to add texture and detail to the environment. You’ll learn how to create variation using decals and apply them to key areas like windows and edges for a polished, realistic look.

In this module, we will focus on applying textures to the landscape, using material functions and automatic texture mapping techniques. You’ll also learn how to manually paint custom textures to refine your terrain design further.

In this module, we will add rocks and other terrain features using Unreal Engine’s foliage mode. You’ll learn how to create varied rock formations and ensure the scale and distribution blend naturally within your environment.

In this module, we will focus on adding vegetation to your environment, including trees and plants. You’ll use Quixel assets to create varied foliage clusters and tweak their colors and sizes for a natural, organic feel.

In this module, we will design and implement water materials for your environment. You’ll learn to create water meshes, set up waterfall planes, and apply material instances to achieve flowing water effects.

In this module, we will dive deeper into water material creation by adding scattering, absorption, and caustic effects. You’ll learn to control these parameters to enhance the visual detail of your water surfaces.

In this module, we will focus on creating water waves using normal map textures. You’ll learn how to simulate wave motion and refine the parameters to achieve a dynamic and realistic water surface.

In this module, we will finalize the water system by adding textures and making adjustments with vertex painting. You’ll learn to tweak water material parameters to enhance its integration within your environment.

In this module, we will build and set up waterfall materials, focusing on creating realistic water flow. You’ll learn how to apply textures and adjust material instances to achieve a visually compelling waterfall effect.
