Raw Zbrush sculpt of jagged mountain.
Sharp shattered landscape out of Gaea. This was cleaned up in Zbrush to fix vertical stretching, remove excess geo, re-uv and re-topologize for Unreal.

Stacked Mesa out of Gaea. The same cleaning method applied as the Shattered terrain.
The foreground environment elements in the Fire realm were sharp, high detail, and had many overlapping shapes and angles. We needed to reproduce that in the vista to get a proper feeling of extended space. To accomplish this I used Gaea to provide a solid base for each element and then cleaned them in Zbrush and processed LODs in both Zbrush and blender depending on need.
