Road To Rivendell | Lord Of The Rings Environment in Unreal Engine 5

This is a walkthrough of my recent project, "𝗥𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗹," inspired by The Lord of the Rings.
It’s a fully playable, real-time environment built in Unreal Engine. I wanted to capture a sense of magic, age, and overgrowth. As you move through the space, my goal was to create small “𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀” or “points of interest” that encourage exploration and keep the world visually engaging.

From a technical side, to achieve the dense overgrowth, I mainly used three 𝗣𝗖𝗚 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀. These are groups of meshes saved as point clouds, which you can easily respawn whenever needed. The great thing about this method is that you can randomize parts of the point data each time you place an assembly. This means you can reuse a carefully designed cluster of rocks or plants across the level without it feeling repetitive.
