The abandoned hamlet

These renders were done for my final university project. The project focused on creating an environment after my own concept and narrative :  a german medieval hamlet that was struck by a deadly illness. The renders showcase nature reclaiming the hamlet after humanity abandoned it. Throughout the project I used various software such as Substance Suite and TreeIt with the aim of always aiming to improve my skills. I wanted to create a very organic scene so I sculpted multiple assets including a tree. Due to the organic nature of the scene I also researched vegetation and ways of creating it for a large scene. Lighting and composition were also topics I was exploring, especially as they helped my scene stand out more. My goal was to not only create a visually pleasing environment but to also tell a narrative through it.

Final Renders

Process Views of each render

The block outs barely helped me visualise the final outcome so I made a few kitbashes to help me visualise the compositions more. 

Building Concepts

To plan my modelling process, I created concepts of all the buildings within my environment.
