Student Project - Game World UE5 practice
7-week project to create a simple, 3rd person game world with little to no actual gameplay.
The focus was on environment art with a walkable bi-pedal character designed by us.
The "game" was called A Touch of Light, and was created by five 1st year students.
My role was technical artist within Unreal Engine 5. I set dressed the environment, created the volumetric lighting, created blueprints, scripted the intro-video, cutscene triggers, outro-video, menu and rendered all assets out into a game-ready package.
All 3D models, character model, rigging, texturing, sounds - were created by my teammates using Maya and Substance Painter.
Trailer created to showcase the game.

Blueprints were heavily used to allow for easier building and optimisation in UE5.
I scripted nodes to allow for the intro video to play at the beginning, cutscenes to be triggered in certain areas, or to go from one map to another.
Overview of the environment I designed in UE5. No models were created by me, only set-dressing. Fire and lighting were created by me using blueprints or niagra simulation.
