Stylized Snowy Environment in Unreal Engine

I've been seeing a lot of great stylized scenes from unreal engine here on Artstation and wanted to give it a go. I spent a couple of days scouring Artstation for people who's results I really liked, and was heavily inspired by Tyler Smith, Justin Wallace, Li Bolu (李 菠萝
) and Anastasia Kasyanik. I went down the rabbit hole of creating foliage materials that worked in a stylized setting. A good starting place for me was a handful of videos by Tyler Smith which can be found on YouTube, or on the blog section of his page. I used a lovely oil painting by Karl Terry as my reference for this piece.
