No i dont think its gonna be something like that unfortunately .

Yep

Decided to come back to this environment. Since it's pretty much 2 years old at this point i wanted to start from scratch. Here's some of the foliage that i've made for the new environment so far.

Starting to work on the background terrain, before going for the playable one, I'm planning on making multiple small islands that gonna have some old millitary installations and underground bunkers kinda like FarCry 1,3

Thank you!, Yep its till ue4.

Haven't been working on the project for about 2 months, wasn't liking the shape of the island and how the things were going , but finally found some courage and time to scrap some of the old stuff and start from scratch. Here's my progress so far. Had to redo the entire island and also some of the foliage.

Not sure if this is WIP but the small, ankle-height foliage looks kinda weird (too dense, not very beachy)

Thanks! . About the small foliage it's still not decided if it's gonna be that or just a bunch of grass but i've seen it on the reference

Making the cliff meshes for the scene. Textures aren't yet final.

A little test of the weather rain system.

Another update. I've decided to use the procedural foliage in the ue4. I was hesitant to use it before because it wasn't giving me results that i wanted from it, but now i finally figured out how to get what i want from it and it's a huge time saver in placing all of this foliage. Also I'm now using a Runtime Virtual Texture to blend the rocks and the grass with the landscape and it adds a lot in terms of believability i think.
