Synopsis
This project is intended to revolve around a high-poly 3D environment with horror and sci-fi as the main genres. The theme of the environment is a star ship that has been attacked by violent creatures, leaving no trace of the crew except signs of struggles and physical altercation. The design is a mix of retro, blocky structures and sleek modernism from references such as the ‘Alien’ and ‘Star Trek’ franchises. The modelling was done in Autodesk Maya, the texturing done in Substance Designer and the final environment was compiled in Unreal Engine 4.
Motivation
My love of the 'Alien' film franchise and the 'Star Trek' franchise.
