Incredible insight into the creation of an absolutely awesome looking environment. Thanks for taking the time to not only tutor, but also provide access to the project files, something almost nobody else does - at least without a paywall. Many thanks!!!

Wow, that’s probably the best looking natural environment I’ve seen in UE period. Well done and thanks for sharing.

Incredible tutorial, Gabe! Your clear and thoughtful guidance has propelled me to the next level. Eagerly anticipating your upcoming projects in the near future.

Your approach to environments and techniques really helped me build a portfolio that got me a environment artist job. Keep up the good work, Gabe!

This presentation was beautiful. I love that you described the entire workflow and only highlighted key information. This is also the first time i actually use every software mentioned in a tutorial. Usually i have to download something and am greeted by yet another learning curve 😂

Excellent. Both the scene and the tutorial. Thank-you

That's exactly what I needed to learn! I have experience creating large scale landscapes in Blender, but have little experience transfering that knowledge to UE. Thank you for making such valuable content!

Awesome stuff! Really loved the final look.

I love your voice, I love your content. Very straight to the point. That being said coming from a Video Game Background a couple of tricks can't really be used, unless it's for a narrative gameplay where the player cannot move freely. But who cares, it's gorgeous, thank you so much for this video.
