Bram Zwikker did a breakdown of his vivid environment made with UE4, Substance, and ZBrush and talked in detail about the rocks production.
This is my very first tutorial. I would love to hear your comments! This is a simple and quick process but very effective. You can use many different objects as a group and work on the materials a bit more. The purpose of this tutorial was not creating a beautiful render but showing my workflow for environment creation. I hope you create great things!

I'm very glad to present to you this tutorial about making rocks, in collabotaion with the legendary Daniel Thiger and his awesome learning platform Levelup.digital. (You can get it here https://gumroad.com/a/136688755) I had recieved many requests to make tutorials about this matter and I think couldn't have chosen a better artist to work with, so It's an honor to be part of such a great team of so skilled artists. Thank you guys! and thank you Daniel!
In this video, I'm gonna create a rocky grassland environment. This is a full workflow tutorial on how to create these environments. Topics include:Creating ...

The procedural nature of Gaea by Quadspinner empowers 3D artists and matte painters to craft impressive and realistic environments with its powerful tools. Incorporating Gaea into a Houdini workflow, Rasha Shalaby — an Environment Artist and Matte Painter with over 20 years of experience in VFX for film, TV, and game cinematics — uncovers how to create terrain assets such as icy cliffs and rocky terrains that are usually harder to achieve through height-field simulations alone. In this 3.5-hour workshop, Rasha demonstrates how to create geometry using various erosion and warp techniques in Gaea, as well as how to pull data to help create textures and data maps for assets. She shares how to export textures and maps into Houdini for the lookdev and lighting stage, and reveals how to establish the look, lighting setup, and cameras for the environment in Houdini. The renders are set up in Arnold for the ultimate final look. Rasha offers a quick tour through some of Houdini’s top tools for creating complex, layered surfaces — with a focus on those that help to maintain the rocky look of cliffs. An overview of how to create a 360-degree panorama of the environment is also included, showing how Rasha brings in her renders of the horizon and, with some painting, masking, and adjustments in Photoshop, is able to use the resulting image to later light the scene for the final render. This workshop is packed with Rasha’s tips and tricks learned from more than 20 years working in the industry. Included for subscribers is a collection of helpful project files, including the meshes, textures files, and the Houdini project used in the workshop.

Around 23 million years ago, a series of volcanic eruptions shaped the landscape that is now Pinnacles National Park. The remnants of these ancient eruptions have formed a striking terrain of rocky spires and deep canyons. Visitors can explore diverse environments, from chaparral and oak woodlands to the cool, shaded depths of canyon floors.
A Banks Orbital is an extremely large hoop-shaped artificial habitat that rotates once per day to create artificial gravity along its inner surface. A Banks Orbital can provide natural-seeming and self-maintaining environments over surface areas that are hundreds to thousands of times larger than of a typical rocky planet like Old Earth.
