Dartmoor Ruins
This scene was made in Unreal Engine 5. It is a traversable visa reveal. The player starts following a path where the hill to their side blocks the view ahead; once they turn the corner, it opens into a wide sunset valley inspired by Dartmoor and subtle Arthurian legends.
The project includes custom models and PCG systems for foliage placement, as well as a castle built using a procedural tool.
