I've been wanting to get my hands on Unreal Engine 5 for a while now, and after playing a bit of the new Forza Horizon I felt inspired to create this desert environment. My main goal was to try out nanite and lumen, and get some cinematic shots. I have to say, love them so far!
For this project I used the megascans library, the character Echo from the Valley of the Ancient Epic demo, and a vehicle I found on the marketplace (I added some nomad tuning to make it a bit more interesting). I used one of the great art pieces from Joan Pique Llorens as main reference and then I started playing with the different megascans assets and lighting until I found a composition that I was happy with.
Hope you like it!
