Hello everyone, I'm excited to introduce this project, a significant milestone in my journey as the first exterior environment I have ever completed.

Step into a meticulously crafted 3D model of a nighttime city environment in Japan, where every pixel breathes realism. Wander through the intricately designed streets and witness the awe-inspiring attention to detail. Immerse yourself in the essence of Japan's architectural wonders as you explore this immersive 3D model. 

Based on Jaume Rovira Llorca 's concept. Modeled in 3DS Max, textures made with Substance Painter and rendered in Unreal Engine 5.

The project began with extensive research, diving into references to ensure accuracy in areas such as building design, textures, and overall environment consistency.

With all assets completed, I shifted my focus to setting up the environment in Unreal Engine. Making the rain with Niagara System and adding decals. 

All assets were made by me except the plants and trash bag used by Quixel Bridge in UE5. Creating all the assets for this project was an incredibly enjoyable experience that pushed me to develop my skills even further.

Undoubtedly, lighting presented its fair share of challenges, but through the right approach and a deep understanding of the available tools, I was able to achieve impressive lighting results. This project has been a valuable learning experience that has expanded my knowledge and skills in the realm of lighting.

This project is my very first attempt at creating a 3D asset. It provided me with a valuable opportunity to challenge myself and enhance my modeling skills.

This marks the start of my journey with 3dsMax and Substance Painter, a significant first step. Despite the steep learning curve, I approached the challenge with determination, investing time and effort to master these powerful software tools.
