If you don't have World creator, don't worry! You can skip that part, you can also create overall island/terrain shapes with just UE4 tools and Brushify Alpha Brushes (shown at 39:00)
This is the pack used in the video:

In this tutorial using World Creator I show off some of the Brushify workflows used to create a tropical island environment in real-time in Unreal Engine 4.
The entire process took only an hour of work, as the assets come from the Brushify environment library. There's a lot of information here so use the timestamps!
