Estate Raid

For this project I aimed to create a modular 3D environment using real world reference with a focus on storytelling. The story I have created is of an estate owned by a powerful person, this estate has been raided by a lot of people who were greatly affected by the owner. My scene shows the aftermath of the raid. I wanted to create a cold and still atmosphere using artificial lights and fog which I achieved through many lighting tests in Unreal Engine 5.

I modelled and UVed all of the building pieces in Maya  

Materials I created using Substance Painter/ Designer

I used Photogrammetry to create the statue using photos I took of the Edward Elgar statue in Worcester. The program I used was 3DF Zephyr.

All assets in Unreal Engine 5. I create the spray paint in Photoshop and the tire tracks in Substance Painter. (Litter decals are downloaded from Quixel Megascans)

Reference images I took of Croome Court

I gained a huge amount of knowledge throughout this project. I really pushed myself to attempt many different processes and pipelines such as modelling, material creation, decals, foliage and photogrammetry. This project was challenging due to the many aspects included. I encountered problems in the process that enabled me to use trial and error to find solutions. This project has put me in a great position moving forward to my next projects.
