Age of Flowmap is here! Now you can have the most epic skies with animation while keeping a great performance. Same use as in AAA games and Hollywood productions!
This version of the acclaimed sky pack features incredibly high detailed hellish cloudscapes. Different from other sky packs, this one has epic static backgrounds with additional animated flowmapped clouds over them.
Thanks to my new Houdini learnings and a 20 years of matte painting experience in the movie industry; I present you the ultimate solution to have epic sky spheres in your projects.
The pack has 6 movie quality high resolution (4k) 360 degree matte paintings that can be used to enhance your environments and give a cinematic look. Sources folder also has the original heightmap RAW and heatmap files.
The pack uses a flowmap based animation system. All skies are fully animated. It’s a completely performance friendly blueprint system. The animation is driven with flowmap textures. They are not volumetric and completely artist-made so it is more epic & realistic than volumetric clouds while having impressive performance in both games and vfx.

The skies have basic material instances to easily change color, contrast, exposure, speed and other animation features. I also included an 8k landscape with animated cloud shadows as a gift. For low end & high end computers, I have included both terrain/without terrain versions.
The skies are projected on to a sphere with UVs designed to serve as half domes. So the pack is not based on old 6 image based box system. It’s a sky dome.
I am a former digital matte artist so I hope you like my paintings. Please note that I made these paintings specifically for this pack. It doesn’t include the skybox images that can be found in my Elite Landscapes series or previous Skybox Packs.
