SOMNi Landscape Material

Originally this was just a "recreation" of the Chapter 3 Landscape Material that was shared on a Discord Server, over time (as we started to need more specific paints and visuals for our environments) we learned a lot of it wasn't needed / optimized, which is what motivated us to iterate on it and improve it.

I've been slowly chipping away at this, fixing up material functions that don't behave properly, deleting those that aren't needed, adding new features (like fake "RVT"), adding new layers, etc.

Keep in mind that this material isn't trying to be accurate to a specific Fortnite chapter / season but it is heavily inspired by Chapters 2 and 3.

The cliffs are the almost the same ones used in Chapter 2!

A fake RVT function that projects the landscape's paints onto the world and that can be applied to any material easily.

The snow interacts in a very particular way with other layers. There's also support for snow masks.

Some paints have foliage of their own! Not shown here is Sand & Snow which both have some subtle VFX spawned on them.

Cliff color is hard to get right... personally I'm a fan of lighter tones, but there's a parameter so you can mess with it!

In-game view, PC DX12.

There's also a material included here that supports vertex paint!

gone.... sealed away for ever.. oh wait he's back :D

Other features included but not shown here:

Biome mask support.
14 Landscape layers* + 6 Foliage Exclusive Layers. (* One of these ("SwampFloor") has to be swapped in manually.)
6 - 8% Project size.
Optimized for mobile / performance mode. (Note that the number 1 priority for these platforms was PERFORMANCE, some sacrifices had to be made!)
