The Mystery Tavern - 3D Fantasy Tavern Diorama

Here is a complete series of stylized beauty shots alongside final renders of my Mystery Tavern diorama [based on the 'fantasy tavern' brief set for me by my university.] This 3D diorama is the longest and most detail oriented 3D work I have ever produced; with a total of 7-8 weeks being spent on modelling, UV mapping, texturing, lighting and scene/level setting.

My aim for this brief was to produce a 3D diorama which encompassed the theme of High Fantasy whilst also tapping into other sub-genres such as mystery, historical and mythical fantasies. Focus was spent, developing this scene a piece at a time, working from asset to asset so that I could ensure a stress free and effective transfer to Unreal Engine 5 where I would compose my scene.

Throughout this brief I utilized a vast array of software, covering tools such as Maya, Blender, Substance Painter, Procreate, Z-Brush and Unreal Engine 5. This is a piece of art that I am incredibly proud of as I was able to showcase my skills and experience with asset and scene design to produce a high resolution stylized diorama which was befitting of being a scene within a game. This brief showed me that my skillsets range further than 2D digital painting, as such I plan to experiment with more diorama designs in the future to further improve my skillset and versatility within games design.
