How I Made Ghibli-Style Trees and Grass in UNREAL ENGINE 5.7 (It’s Easier Than You Think)

Grass paints itself. Trees are made of quad poly. And somehow, it all looks fluffy.

In this video, I break down my stylized foliage workflow inside Blender — how I create grass that automatically colors itself from hand-painted terrain textures, and how I build Ghibli-style bushes and trees using a simple billboard system in UNREAL ENGINE 5.7

The best part? It’s all lightweight, runs fast, and starts from a completely free Blender add-on.

🌿 Techniques covered:
– Stylized grass with terrain-based color blending
– Fluffy trees and bushes made with billboard planes
– Shading tricks for painterly lighting
– Wind animation for extra life

Perfect for anyone who loves stylized art, game environments, or Studio Ghibli vibes.

Made entirely in Blender + a touch of shader magic ✨
