This week around, we were tasked to start working on the final iteration of my runestone. I started out by creating a high-res version of the stone in ZBrush, with a great deal of surface detail (runes and engravings included, of course). While I was at it, I also cut a hole into the mesh in the shape of the gemstone I'm using as my new interactable object.
From there, I took the game resolution version of the runestone out of ZBrush and into Substance Painter. I then baked the maps from the high resolution to the game resolution. Then, I finalized the surface textures of the runestone, creating a texture for the stone and orange pigment for the recesses.
Then, I took the game-res mesh and the textures, and brought them into Unreal to replace the Proxy. I also brought in the new mesh for interactable item (the gem, with a simple glowing texture) to replace the old idol one. I also created a few new smaller grass variants and spread them around with the foliage brush, and rejiggered the textures on the ground plane to hide the seams a little better. Here is the final result, as it appears in-engine.
