Documentation
Footsteps vanish into wet sand as alien flora shifts at your side... aware, reactive, alive... Stone arches rise like echoes of something long buried, and rivers carve their way through the stillness with quiet resolve. Solemn mysteries await as you explore this forgotten world...
This Alien Desert Beach includes a ton of value—most notably, our Alien Physics World Pro plugin, which is included free when purchased through our website.
However, due to FAB’s baked code policy, we can’t include the plugin directly in the FAB version.
To comply with their guidelines, the plugin and most bonus content have been excluded from the FAB release. But don’t worry—you can still get the full version at no extra cost. Just click here to grab it from our site, or purchase it on FAB and follow the included instructions to unlock everything.
FEATURES
A Full Alien Biome
This environment features a handcrafted 400m x 250m alien world with sculpted cliffs, glowing desert sands, and alien foliage scattered throughout.
Beaches automatically blend into terrain with a controllable wetness mask system.
Landscape blending is handled with Runtime Virtual Textures, allowing rocks and foliage to naturally merge into terrain.
Pro Foliage System Integration (Only available if purchasing from the Etherion Designs website)
This asset includes the Pro version of our Alien Physics World and the two bonus Environments that come with it.
You'll gain a wealth of added content, such as a weapons system, vehicle support, destructible foliages, grass trails, a weather system, and much more!
11 foliage species from this environment support physics interaction, with more being added in an upcoming update.
Stylized Rock and Ruin Kit
The pack includes, 3 hive spires, 30 small rocks, 15 medium rocks, and 6 detailed cliffsides designed for performance and visual clarity.
All meshes use a shared master material with sand accumulation and 8K detail masking.
Ruins, arches, and cliff groups are included for modular world-building, with optimized LODs and culled unseen faces.
(Nanite is not used, as standard meshes provided better performance.)
Master Material & Easy Color Customization
Two master materials power the environment—one for rock, one for all other assets.
Each material includes support for runtime landscape blending, dynamic top-facing sand buildup, and high-detail surface masking.
Color grading across the entire level can be adjusted using a single Material Parameter Collection.
Blueprint Systems
This pack includes a spline-animated bird for background flight loops, and a fully modular fossil skeleton system.
The skeleton blueprint lets you control its path and adjust the number of ribs for organic, flexible placement.
Lighting & Performance Information
This environment utilizes Lumen Directional Lighting as its main light source, with screen-space reflections.
Models do come with Baked Lightmaps, but the demo environment uses movable lighting.
We tested models with Nanite but LODs have been used instead as they improved performance.
Cinematic Instructions
This environment pack contains several 8k textures and over 150 4K Textures!
This is too much for gameplay performance, so we limieted them all using the Max Resolution settings according to their usage.
If you wish to use this environment for film recording purposes, we suggest selecting all textures, and setting their Max Resolution to "0" to remove this cap on quality.
