Hey everyone!

I hope it’s ok to post it here, but I’ve always been a massive fan of the abandoned aesthetic and the post-apocalyptic vibe. There’s something deeply captivating about it all but I’m sure you guys know exactly what I mean.

I finally managed to wrap up some of my work. This is actually my first time posting my work publicly in 7 years. Emerging from "production hell" to finally show what I’ve been making is a pretty emotional moment for me!

A bit about the tech side:
Modeling: Everything was done in Blender.
Texturing: Created from scratch, mostly in Substance Painter.
Engine: Fully assembled and lit in Unreal Engine 5 using Lumen (I used native textures and Lumen to fully reveal the level of detail).

If you want to see the full technical breakdown and more renders, I’ve uploaded the full project on my ArtStation:https://www.artstation.com/artwork/8BAOPE

I'm totally open to answering any questions about pipeline, texturing, or just the experience of building these environments in general!

Hey everyone!

I finally managed to wrap up some of my work on VR project.
I absolutely love the aesthetics of abandoned places and the post-apocalyptic vibe. There’s something deeply captivating about it all but I’m sure you guys know exactly what I mean. Basically, I’m just a massive fan of this whole genre

Modeling: Everything was modeled in Blender
Texturing: Created from scratch, mostly in Substance Painter
Engine: Fully assembled and lit in Unreal Engine 5 using Lumen (just for renders Lumen lighting, and native texture resolutions to fully reveal the level of detail I originally envisioned for the architecture)

This is actually my first time posting my work publicly in 7 years. Emerging from "production hell" to finally show what I’ve been making is a pretty emotional moment for me!

I'm totally open to answering any questions about the VR pipeline, texturing workflow, modular systems, or just my experience in general!

Hey everyone!

I’m a Senior/Lead Environment Artist with about 7 years of industry experience. For the last 3.5 years, I've been heavily focused on building modular environment systems for a VR project.

Anyone who's worked in VR knows the constant struggle between visual aesthetics and aggressive optimization (though to be fair, that's not strictly limited to VR!). So, for my portfolio, I decided to take these exact game-ready assets and render them in UE5 using Lumen just to see how they hold up without VR limitations.

A bit about the workflow and technical side:

Modeling: Everything was modeled in Blender.

Modularity: The system ended up being extremely flexible. From this single kit, you can build several distinct villages with completely unique houses (small shacks, massive 2-3 story buildings, varying roof sizes, etc.).

Texturing: Created from scratch, mostly in Substance Painter (I personally prefer it over Designer for my workflow). For some base textures, I used Megascans normals as a starting point, but heavily reworked them and added a ton of custom layers and grime on top.

Engine: Fully assembled and lit in Unreal Engine 5 using Lumen.
