Environment walkthrough and Backstory:

Backstory: 

The Nightclub environment is set in a sci fi world in which humanity has colonized dozens of star systems. An authoritarian regime wrestles to maintain control of humanity from the clutches of entropy. 

The planet this nightclub is located on is the system capital of one of the frontier systems, dissenting opinion is starting to take hold on this world and political instability is on the rise.   

In this nightclub the player would play as an agent of the regime tasked with extracting information on a certain individual who is suspected of being involved with separatist groups, The individual is a regular at this nightclub.  

Environment:

Beginning of the level at the moment is between the stairs and sound booth, I chose this area because of its central location in the environment. The future I may move the starting location to the elevator lobby.


Starting location in between the sound booth and the stairs.



The stage area is the main focus point for the environment and is where i chose to place the vertical slice.



Main Stage Area


The elevator lobby is on one side of the bottom floor and its main feature is going to be elevators and possibly doors to the bathrooms.



Elevator Lobby

On the other side of the bottom floor is a lounge area which would have a bar and booths.




Private Booths

Upstairs is a rooftop beer garden with a massive glass ceiling, the beer garden would have tables, chairs, a bar and possibly a garden.

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...

Fleshing out Environment concept:

Fleshing out Environment concept: Playable Environment: Sci fi nightclub with brutalist architecture (lots bare steel and concrete). Club Aesthetic is inspired by the Totentanz club as seen in Cyberpunk 2077 (Link to Totentanz reference material https://www.artstation.com/artwork/QrB81L  ) Clientele theme is future punk/goth  Music being played in the club will some form of techno Lots of exposed cables and electrics to give of edgy aesthetic Outside City Aesthetic:  Sci fi dystopian theme Very tall skyline Heavy smog  Space elevator next to the city Flying Cars and highways Huge Seawall between the city and the space elevator Interior Lighting: Lots of red neon lights in different forms Ideally I will implement monitors that will display custom audio visualisers that match the song playing I can use Adobe After effects for audio visualisers Exterior Lighting: Planet time is currently night in the scene Distant light form nearby buildings  Anti Collision li...
