Abandoned Corridor - Unreal Engine

Detail lighting.

I had a rough idea surrounding what kind of environment I wanted to create, so I already knew what reference I was looking for. Gathering my reference and doing some light research helped me understand the aging I would be applying to the environment.

I started by building some basic environment assets relevant to the idea that I had. Once my meshes were built and unwrapped, I took them into Unreal.

Demonstration of the process to build the environment. I played around with materials and decals until I got what I was looking for, then I added the rubble meshes to fill out the scene. I then added objects that would ground the environment in reality.

I took my flag mesh into Substance Painter to give it a material to fit its purpose. I then applied dirt and aging to the flag using smart masks and manual painting methods.

I took the asset base colour into Photoshop and applied a levels to give me a silhouette. I added aging to the silhouette using a non-destructive workflow, and exported it as the opacity map. I repeated this and the previous process for my poster asset.
