Sci-Fi Landscape Inspired by Arrival

Community Showcase
1

A personal project I have been working on and off for months. Inspired by Arrival (2016). The project is running on Unreal Engine 5.1 with Lumen. I am using Megascan assets and the landscape is made in World Creator 2. The entire landscape is 8km by 8km. The distance landscapes are nanite meshes of the same landscape cut into pieces and arranged to make it looks seamless. The shaders for the water, planets, and the structure in the middle are custom made. I am using planar reflection for the water. For the landscape, I am using customized M4 material. I am also using FluidNinja VFX tools for the vortex fog and clouds.

Wow, I am truly amazed by your incredible creation inspired by “Arrival (2016).” The level of detail in the design of the alien ship is simply breathtaking, and the glistening environment and celestial bodies in the background are mesmerizing! Your cinematic short production is incredible, and I am at a loss for words to describe how impressed I am. Thank you for sharing the final result of your hard work with us in the forums! :star_struck:
