Alex Taylor - Rookies Entry

Hi, I'm Alex, an environment artist, level designer, and lighting artist currently residing in the UK! I love developing artistic scenes which still look immensely fun to play with. 

Lux was a project made by a two-person team, myself and Anna Tateson. We intended to develop a game trailer which would showcase various environments and some gameplay that we had created, almost like a vertical slice. You play as two witches, as they journey through a huge castle, solving puzzles to save constellations trapped within.

I worked on the environment and lighting for the cutscenes, and tried to create shots that were easy to follow, yet still had a magical feel for them. 

I was in charge of environment and level design for the project, and I'm super pleased with what we have managed to create! I feel we've cemented the characters into the environment well, and I'm happy with the amount of light I've been able to blast everywhere. 

Here's a short gameplay showcase video below. It was entirely made from UE4 Blueprints.

To develop my skills in working from concept art, I decided to use my friend Kay Tang's wonderful piece on a Jade Forest. I really enjoyed lighting this scene and setting up vertex painting for the plants and tree trunks. This project was also spotlighted on the Epic Games Launcher!
