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!

Because of high demand, I present you animated aurora version of my acclaimed Matte Painting skybox packs thanks to my new Houdini skills. This version features incredibly high detailed, multi layered clouds before colorful arctic auroras.

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 while keeping a good performance.

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 cool snow particle in the videos and animated clouds shadows are also available in the project.

The pack uses the Matte Painting Skybox Bundle Pack‘s flowmap animation system (don’t worry this pack is stand alone). All skies are fully animated. It’s a completely performance friendly blueprint system.

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.
