In this final video of the Intro to Unreal Engine course we take a look at how to use the landscape tool to sculpt our own landscape. Additionally we learn how to use one of Unreal Engine latest features from the 4.26 update... water! We create a lake with a river attached to it and learn how to modify several settings within them. And last but not least, we have a look at how to add all kinds of foliage to our environment to make it look a little more finished and polished.
