Day Sequence 3 South Biome

South - Jungle/Swamp

Remember that the Day Sequence device at the center of the island establishes the neutral look for the entire island. To create a biome that is different from the neutral island center, another Day Sequence device was added to the Southern quadrant.

Travel to the Jungle biome by pressing the 4 key.

Trigger Volume Area transition point.

To begin creating the look of the Southern quadrant, think about the major differences between the looks you want to achieve.

For example, in the Jungle biome, you have to think about the lighting and environmental changes that will make this quadrant feel like a jungle, aside from the large trees, vegetation, and mossy rocks used as set dressing to build the terrain.

Jungle Secondary Day Sequence Device

To create the jungle environment, you’ll need to simulate humidity, with around 80% cloud coverage, and rays of light coming through the tree canopies, creating lots of light and shadow in the scene.

Select the Day Sequence Device_South asset from the South folder in the Outliner and ensure Show Only Modified Properties is toggled on in the Details panel.
