Hello everyone!

Inspired by the picture that I post I decided to make a large update for the Update 3!

I really want to give you the best tool to made a good looking outside environment so I continue to add some things and upgrade everythings.

Other pictures coming soon !

Planning for this month:

I got some new idea for the pack guys let me share you this.

As I continue to make my package become better and better i see that the community is divide in some way, some people is ready to buy a complete pack like Peaceful Valley River and some just don’t need everythings in my pack and is not willing to pay the full price for somethings that they don’t need so my idea is to create multiple pack with a categorie of things.

Like a pack of the mushroom, another of only the rocks (…) you see where I goes with that.

I understand that many of you is indie and cannot always buying a **85$ package **but the value will not drop (only in sale) this is a lot of works and energy to put into a project like this and my only desire is to help you making a good looking project and for sure your support help me making my content better and without that I probably could not continue making some product for the marketplace.

Like I say before don’t be shy if you have something to say about my content I could probably help you with any problem. The feedback is what making my content grow and it help me becoming better.

So i will continue the update 3 this will add some content and the new map with the procedural system (the real edition) so stay tune everyone!

Thank you very much!

Hello everyone!

The new update is pending to be released on the store! Epic games need to verify if my file are all ok.

So the update 3 give you a lot of stuff to work with like the new procedural system for the landscape and the trees. The landscape is more realistic with the tessellation/displacement set-up.
You’ll receive some new content where I focus on giving you more rocks to work with. This rocks is more basic and can fit pretty much any where.
[FONT=trebuchet ms]8 new small river rocks
5 new medium river rocks
1 new Broken Trunk.

The broken trunk is more a test for a next update where I will be more concentrate to make wooden debris. Also i will probably make some new textures for the landscape.

Don’t hesitate to give me some feedback I trying to make the many things for you guys but without feedback this is hard for me to see what isn’t top notch.
Hope you’ll love the update 3 next week i hope to be able to make my individual pack (only mushroom, only rocks, trees and foliage.)

Thank you, picture will be updated today!

[FONT=times new roman]Hello everyone!

So what will coming now?

The update 3 is officially released now I truly hope you love all the new stuff that i included in!

I don’t know if you guys want or need the compatibility patch for 4.17-4.18 but what i decide is to do my pack for 4.17 to the newest version. So the lower version of 4.17 will not work for Peaceful Valley River. The reason is that with all the update that I make in 4.19 this is truely some work and time that I don’t think is highly worth. If you need my pack and can’t update to the newer version send me a message and I will try to do something for you but if nobody inbox me I won’t make a compatibility patch for the older version. Good news is I start my project in 4.17 so i just need to remade and include all the patch and it will be ok. My next product “The Swamp” will be compatible for 4.17 to the newest version!

Lets talk about “The Swamp”

The Swamp will be a pretty big environment that will include everything that you need to build a scary Resident Evil 7 inspired level design. There’s will be some old creepy house with broken stuff, moldy food, dirt wall, and more. I’m a big fan of survival horror games and I really want to help you create the next big Outlast, Resident Evil type of game. There’s will be a lot of new foliage and trees types. If you have any demand to include in my next project you can inbox me I will take that in consideration.

Also you can always contact me for Peaceful Valley River i’m pretty open to all the demand and i like to receive some comments of any types!

First things that I will do is the compatibility patch for 4.17-4.18
After I will separate my pack in part so if you don’t need everythings in my product you will be able to select what you want!

Thank you everyone and hope you have a pretty summer!

Hi everyone,

The next update will be later on, and let me explain what I will trying to do.

I’ll concentrate my times to upgrade some of the things that you already have in my pack like for example the water.
My plan is to add more realistic effect in the water materials and physic with other mesh (like a buoyancy water). I cannot talk about when i expect to release this update but this is one of my plans. I also trying to include a weather system to my pack but this require some test and a huge time of working.

So like I say before, in october I expect to give you some new information about my next package: The Swamp. This is a huge project and by the same time I will working on my weather system. I will give you some news after some major part is done.

I hope you have a great day and thank you!

Give me your feedback and don’t be afraid to message me if something isn’t clear!

**- SEPTEMBER 2018 - **
Update idea for this month.

*Change about optimization for being able to build a multiplayer online game. *
So nobody inbox me about the optimization of my pack but i already know that i can increase the fps total by reducing the resolution of my texture. So one of the update will give you a new version of some texture in a reducing resolution (2k version) for foliage, rocks, debris and landscape!
So for the people who dreams to build a large open world or a multiplayer experience without seeing the fps drop too much, this will be a pretty cool update.

Texture quality update for some models.
The quality of my texture is good so far but I always try to upgrade my stuff to help you getting the best of your scene! So i’ll try to update some of my textures that can be better in general!

Lighting enhancement for map 2.
My lighting in the second map can be better so I’ll do a update about that.

*Your proposition or feedback? *
Every proposition or feedback is taking seriously. So if you guys have a comment about what could be fun to have into my pack this is the good place to talk about that! Also you can review my product anytime in the market but if you thinking about giving a bad review for any reason please contact me before doing that and i’ll help you with any problem that you have! I give my best into my products in the market and I really want to continue with a lot of package in the future!

Thank you guys and have a nice day!

**Hello everyone! **

I don’t give some news this month and this is because i’m busy a bit but don’t panic every little time that I have is to think about something that can be great to add for this package. I also want to prepare my next content but i seriously want your opinion about that.

That can be: The swamp which will be a horror themed pack where i will design some quality outdoor swamp assets and i will also modeling a house that’ll be inspired by Resident Evil 7 and Outlast. 1 creepy house (large size) 1 fishing cabin with bloody atmosphere. 1 swamp materials. Foggy FX and Rain FX. A great swamp nature set. And some broken wooden modular piece.

Or…

A arctic research base where you will receive a high quality snowy landscape, some great ice materials, a bunker feels like interior with quality assets. Some exterior assets like snowmobile with snow shader. A large map. And a Big surprise (creative idea) that i will include into this don’t want to talk about it but this will be a pretty cool things.

So far the two projects is pretty cool and I want to make everything at the same times … but what is your need?

Again if you have some feedback about Peaceful Valley River or idea to make this pack better you can propose it! Also if you have any comments about my next package to build or any idea this would be greatly appreciated because i’m not sure what to start with!

Thank you everyone and have a great weeks!

Hi. This asset looks nice! What is difference between your asset and procedural landscape ecosystem on marketplace?

Thanks

Hi viking0077, it really depend of what you need right now. The procedural landscape ecosystem by Gokhan Karadayi was made 1 years before Peaceful Valley River. So for now the pack include a season system which give you a snow materials. So if you need to make a snowy type of map for sure Peaceful Valley River didn’t have that option so far (but I may include this after some times for sure). I also see that Gokhan have added a auto painted landscape, a feature that I have but in a different way. Lets have a quick looks of the difference right here:

Peaceful Valley River

  • A easy to use Procedural System
  • High quality Landscape with Displacement set-up
  • Puddle system
  • River Water system
  • Large scaled tree with great and realistic looks.
  • 4k textures and high quality meshes
  • Great vegetation type and variations
  • Realistic mushroom
  • Some post-process for any tastes.
  • Can make a very realistic scene but can have a performance hit if you use it badly (too dense forest for example)
  • Good variety of rocks and can be customized easily

Procedural Landscape Ecosystem

  • Already have season type
  • Creating a map without having any plan
  • Have road and train rail if you need this
  • Slope for landscape
  • Creating a Large type of map (For a game like DayZ, Miscreated…)
  • Painting to template the vegetation setup —> Similar to mine but different because in PLE you generate a template, all the different color apply some foliage to your landscape | In PVR you select a texture from the landscape, apply any mesh (foliage) that you want to spawn on in a list and when you will paint on the landscape the correct vegetation will spawn on the correct texture. (Look feature video for more info about that)
  • More optimized trees less polygon

That’s my quick difference review of the two pack.
I personally don’t have bought PLE but it looks like a great pack too.
I will continue to work on PVR to try to add some feature that could be great to have (snow shader, ice river, snow fx, blizzard fx, and more.) I’m listening to the feedback of the people that bought my pack and like i always said My goals is to make the best content for helping the indie companies to grow. I also work on more content for the marketplace so i’ll always be close to the unreal community.

Hope this answers correctly to your question!
VBCreativeArt

Thanks for good answer, i think I’ll buy your pack anyway;) what do you mean by slope for landscape?

A slope is like the separation between a plane suface and the height that you apply on. when you sculpting with the landscape tool you automatically have a texture of cliff that appear when it goes up so for example you have a grass texture on a plane —> you use the sculpting tools and automatically you will see a new texture of cliff (blend) so it can be useful if you don’t want to manually paint your cliff. Also this is something that i think to add !

Example of slope :

■■■■! I taught you had this in your pack…you have to add this as soon as possible, this great asset need it!

For sure! This could be a great addon feature to my update 4 ! I’ll work on that! I take any idea pretty seriously. I always trying to upgrade my content to the next level. So slope is on my list for the update 4. I also probably gonna add some different wooden fence and a wooden bridge too !
