Rain City
Environment art is close to my heart of building worlds that tell a story! And that heart beats for moody places! This project took about 7 weeks half-time to create and a lot of time was put into the setting. The composition was inspired by https://www.artstation.com/artwork/xDoyEX as I explored his piece early on before pivoting to what we see today.
Shout out to Julia Nordlöf for being a cool collaborator and check out her character more in depth as well as other works!

Assets used for the scene. All assets is made by me except the character and a few graffiti decals seen in render.
The massive pieces was a great challenge, they use a mix of world space tiling for grunge and rgb masks to detail the specific dripping grunge from surrounding pieces
RGB mask used to break up tiling, three sides were uv'd and painted to increase the variety
The hard pivot early on is when I pivoted from the main concept into something of my own
My three most used materials, the colors on the painted metal and concrete are too be able to change colors between material instances when needed.
The three tarmacs used to create my street
The tarmac was a great exploration of how a material deteriorate and change over time. The water puddles was also a great part of learning the depth of material functions and its possibilities.
