Design Choices and Reasoning

 Design Choices and Reasoning: 

Repetition of skull motif to give a consistent aesthetic in the environment 

Emphasis on the skull





Cyber skull


The first iteration of this asset was one big screen but I decided on a large amount of smaller screens to break up the image and make it look more interesting. I was also planning on adding cables coming out of these monitor to lead to a focal point in a room.


The skull above the main stage

I added the skull above the main stage because while the stage drew attention, the attention was lower then I wanted it to be. I want the attention to be higher in the room so the room feels more imposing. The cables running to the skulls from the monitors lead the eyes to the focal point which is the big skull.


Environment lighting

I choose the blue lighting in this room due to the overpowering amount of the red in the main area. This blue gives a bit of a break from the red. The cool colours contrast well with the warm colours in the environment.


Beer Garden

I unfortunately didn't finish the beer garden in time. My idea for this room was to have a huge encompassing ceiling window that would cast interesting shadows.  


VIP Booths

The booths have LEDs under the seats to give contrast to the blue lighting behind the booths.

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...

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...
