I've been really inspired by the environments in Halo Infinite and wanted to create a scene inspired by it.
All the foliage was done with Botaniq Full.
For the ODST dudes I modeled some armor pieces that looked good from a distance and then parented the pieces onto a mixamo soldier guy lol.
And yes the pelican is just an animated plane. I was surprised how decent it looked.
The guns are just images as planes too that I extruded slightly to get an illusion of thickness, and I put a bump map on them too.
