Crimson Lotus Heavy Industries

The era of organic life has drawn its curtains
The future of the cosmos belongs to machines
Welcome to the dawn of the Synthetic Age

This project represents my inaugural attempt at the full-process production of 3D environment art, starting from designing the concept to the final rendering. Inspired by the movie "Nezha Reborn," this film boldly innovates by merging traditional Chinese mythology with Cyberpunk-style scenes.

The overall blockout and modeling draw reference and inspiration from Taehoon Park's impressive CG work, "Dreaveler," where I aimed to modify the Chinese traditional elements, such as the metallic lotus experimental platform, and incorporate them in the scene. 

I named the project "Crimson Lotus Heavy Industries." The choice reflects the overall rusted metallic materials, bio-experiment graffiti, and lighting coordinated in flashing red and green. My intention is to present a biohacking laboratory associated with Crimson Lotus Heavy Industries within a Cyberpunk Apocalypse world.

To enhance the overall sense of dilapidation within the scene and amplify the impact of heavy mechanical industry, I also utilized the niagara system in UE to generate two distinct forms of sparks resulting from mechanical failures.
