Overall Theme:

My main inspiration for the prominence of the colour red in my scene was the Totentanz club from Cyberpunk 2077. The overall aesthetic for the club is very unique and striking due to its lighting and skull themed artwork throughout the environment.

Architecture:

The architectural style of the building my environment is housed in is very much inspired by real world brutalist architecture that emerged in the 1950s in post-war United Kingdom. I chose brutalist architecture because of the focus on bare steel and bare concrete construction.

Bar Aesthetic inspiration;

Some the environments aesthetic is inspired by a bar I like in fortitude valley called the Greaser,
In particular I was inspired by the hanging car which I used as inspiration for the hanging monitors.

Reflections

Reflections: I am mostly happy with my environment however there was many things I did not manage to complete. This was mostly due to time constraints and technical limitations. The overall aesthetic of my environment lines up pretty well with what I had envisioned for it in my concept blog post. The architecture captures the brutalist style very well with the frequent use of steel and concrete construction in the building. The lighting and wide use of skulls captures the dark and gritty aesthetic of my inspiration material "Totentanz".  I learned a lot through the process of making this environment mainly about 3D modelling workflows, UV Mapping, Texturing and Lighting in Realtime engines. My speed at which I can create, UV map and texture models has increased dramatically. The topology of my models is now at a much better standard compared to last trimester. I have gained a good understanding of Unreal Engine 5 which should be very useful moving forward. My knowledge of Sub...
