Piltover Place & Stylized Mage Mailbox

Piltover Place

I present my first work as an environment artist focused on creating a video game with Unreal Engine 5. It's a square in the city of Piltover, belonging to the lore of League of Legends, with a semi-realistic aesthetic and some stylized touches. It is inspired by the concept art created by artist Joon Ahn.

In order for all the content to have a cohesive aesthetic and adapt to the desired outcome, I have personally generated all the content by modeling it from scratch. To optimize the process further, I have conducted an analysis of the components that form the scene and divided everything I could into reusable modules that allowed me to build a scene.

With these created modules, I proceeded to assemble the scene, generating some custom assets that were needed to fully complete the environment, such as the antenna and the ground beneath the sphere.

To achieve the desired aesthetic, I created textures using Quixel Mixer, blending various materials and creating masks and images in Photoshop and Illustrator to achieve the desired result. Subsequently, I generated a base material in Unreal Engine that allowed me to cover most of my needs through instances for each material, although it was necessary to create different materials for specific elements.

Within this base material, the nodes that allow loading four textures in a single material are of special importance. This enables random tiling on a large surface, such as a wall, avoiding the creation of a recognizable pattern that would give a false impression. This option can be activated or deactivated as desired in the instances generated to achieve more optimized materials.

After texturing all the elements, I proceeded to illuminate the scene.

Stylized Mage Mailbox

I present my first work creating stylized props. It's a magical mail desk based on the concept art by Jackie Fletcher. All the models have been made from scratch, and the textures have been manually created to fit the final model.

Some of the elements have been modified from the original concept's aesthetics to better align with the rest of the 3D elements.
