Abandoned Industrial Hideout
Modeled and rendered in Maya with PBR textures created in Substance painter and designer. 2D textures were created in Clip Studio Paint and Photoshop.
I aimed for a stylized look, taking inspiration from game environments and cinematics like Valorant and Overwatch. Original concept art created by Labuu (https://www.artstation.com/artwork/XnPRaR)
A story within every art
I enjoyed this particular concept because I have always been fascinated by post-apocalyptic and abandoned pieces of architecture and art. I wanted to show even within abandoned pieces of work there is still life and light to be found. Thus, I even took time
to further add life to the overall scene beyond the original concept through additional lighting, foliage, and textures.
New techniques
This was the first time doing a lot of doing in 3D from using physically based rendering for textures as well as cloth simulation for foliage and animation. While this would be a scene never found in real life, I implemented many lighting passes that could add more realism and tranquility to the overall aesthetic. I also used transparency maps for the first time for foliage to give off the feeling that every individual leaf is there without individually modeling every one.

Custom made textures
I made some stylized stone and water textures within Substance Designer to use for the final environment.
