3D Environments
Here are a few of my 3D environment projects I've worked on in programs such as Maya and Unreal Engine 5.
The Mystic Teapot
The Mystic Teapot is a whimsical retreat born from the dreams of a botanist and her inventor husband. The café’s centerpiece, a life-sized tea kettle with steam rising from its spout, the outdoor seating area is a charming overgrown garden, featuring teacup seating and tables, cookie-shaped stepping stones, and a massive tea cup-turned-spa. Designed entirely in Maya and ZBrush, all props were meticulously sculpted, from the teacup furniture to the pastry tree, before being brought to life in Unreal Engine 5, creating a fantastical world where magic and hospitality flourish.
Campsite LookDev / Lighting
The campsite, nestled in a quiet forest clearing, captures a cozy night scene with a flickering campfire casting warm, golden light on rugged tents and scattered gear, while the cool, shadowy forest fades into the background. The sky is a canvas of twinkling stars, enhanced by HDRI lighting that blends naturally with the moon’s soft glow, casting delicate shadows on the ground. You’ve expertly balanced the fire’s intensity with the ambient moonlight, creating a serene contrast between warmth and coolness. Subtle post-processing effects in Unreal Engine that heighten the atmosphere of this tranquil, magical retreat.
