Railway Station

For my final project in my advanced term at Think Tank, I was inspired by the innovative concepts of Joker Chen. Working on this project was both a challenge and a joy as I delved into his ideas. Throughout the process, I experimented with new techniques and workflows, particularly within Unreal Engine. The experience not only allowed me to create my piece but also expanded my skill set significantly

I started by breaking down the main reference, and trying to understand the mood I really wanted to go for with this piece. I settled for something fun and set in the wild west.

This was my final for my intermediate term, I wanted to go for something with a dark and moody atmosphere, with an intriguing story. This was my first full environment made in the video games pipeline, and I learned a ton during the entire process!
