In this video I'm gonna show you how I made a looping snowy landscape for free, using Unreal Engine 5, Quixel Megascans, and Davinci Resolve. I've been basing a lot of my renders on personal trips and adventures, so this one is inspired by a rare hike, when Mt. Baldy (in Southern California) actually got snow.
