Bloodlust - 3D Environment Work

Project 1: Bloodlust

My most recent project, Bloodlust. Responsible for all models, textures, lighting, and set dressing. Although set in a fantastical medieval town where Vampires roam, I focused on building architecture that has a base in realism. 

I wanted to focus on building a realistic city architecture to practice making modkits and a believable city space that a player could navigate through. It was challenging to create a realistic modkit that transitions between wood Tudor buildings and stone architecture. 

This project was solely created by me using: UE5, Maya, Substance Painter, Substance Designer, Photoshop, & Zbrush.

Progress 01

Progress shots of my main corners in my environment. The biggest challenge was solidifying my modkit and making the connection points between the building floors, wood & stone, and building foundations feeling correct.

Progress 02

Flythough of my environment.

Props

I designed, modeled, and textured these props. Most were based on research about real-life goods during the Medieval times.

Modkit

Breakdown of my main modkit pieces and props. These modkit pieces were used most heavily, but some one-off pieces were made where needed.

Materials

Material spheres for my tiling textures created in Substance Designer.

Coniferous Forest

This was a project completed my Junior year at Ringling College. This was a biome based off of a coniferous forest in Germany, The Black Forest. It was the first time I tackles foliage and an interior space, so there was a lot of experimentation.

This project was created solely by me using UE4, Maya, ZBrush, SpeedTree, Substance Painter, Substance Designer, and Photoshop.

I experimented with Substance Designer to create a majority of my materials. I created a fern, moss, dirt, and rock material with procedural moss placement. 

Victorian Villa

This environment is the second part of the coniferous forest. It is a villa built inside the forest home to a hoarder. This was my first attempt at an interior space and I focused on creating a tiling trim sheet for my walls as well as re-useable props to get the most mileage in a short amount of time.

2013 Volkswagen GTI

This was a sophomore year project to demonstrate hard surface modeling.
