Haunted Art Studio - 3D Environment
Further development of Grads in Games project. Despite it being submitted, I really enjoyed working on this piece and wanted to push it further after receiving some great feedback on areas to improve. As such, I tweaked the values of certain materials, further developed the lighting and post-processing and lowered the poly count on the assets.
Each material was self-authored in Substance Painter (excluding wooden floorboards and plaster walls which were created in Substance Designer). Final renders were produced in UE5. This was exciting as it allowed me to advance skills in creating my own materials. This project was great fun and I’m glad I had the opportunity to partake in the Grads in Games challenge Searching for a Star.
Final Render 1 - full scene with the focal point being the unsettling drawing on the easel lit by an upward facing light.

Final Render 2 - looking through the red door to the easel.
Final Render 3 - Close up of the “scary drawing”.
Final Render 4 - additional assets that assist in the environmental storytelling, adding clutter and chaos.
All assets used excluding modular walls and mould decals. Each were made from start to finish either hard surface in Maya or sculpted in Zbrush and using self-authored materials created in a substance Painter.
