Nyla Laurie - 3D Environment Art Showcase 2024

Desert Alley

This project was designed to practice sculpting and applying trimsheets on a modular kit with an environment concept art. I really tried to focus on creating textures and trims that blended together smoothly.  Also, I learned how to sculpt edge wear damage normals for the buildings to add some easy damage and variation. I used RGB masks to add details on a second UV set onto the modular pieces. The plants used are from Quixel.

This project took a bit over a month in total and I'm proud of how it came out, but I know that I can make improvements to my workflow in the future.

I started on this project before the end of 2023 as a homage to my first 3D environment that I ever made, Sunset Interior. I've improved so much in the past two years and I wanted to demonstrate that growth as an artist. This time, I put my effort towards creating an environment that could exist in real life with the design concept of the space. I created the main modular pieces and the large set dressing props. For the smaller props and plants, I used Quixel to fill in the environment.
