My attempt to recreate the floating castle of Aincrad from Sword Art Online.

ArtStation Link

The clouds were created using a combination of TrueSky plugin and cloud cards. Background landscape obtained from “Landscape Mountains” demo by Epic Games. The Scene has fully dynamic lighting. Aincrad model textured using Substance Painter.
The Aincrad model is a modified and textured version of a mesh by StefansArya.
