Lighting breakdown - ( more info in blog )
This is my first environment project in Unreal Engine. Before I began, my main goal was to learn as much of the environment art workflow as I could while creating a piece that I could proudly add to my portfolio and that would help me get a job.
My inspiration for this environment came while I was playing the game "What Remains of Edith Finch." I loved the way they used the characters' home to further the story and decided I wanted to do an interior house scene. Soon afterwards I came across the artwork of Cmy Cai (@cmycai). I LOVED the interior paintings and quickly decided on the one to work from.
For a further look into what went into making this environment, please check out my blog that includes an in depth breakdown of the assets, layout and lighting. [ https://www.artstation.com/nickgolden/blog/gZye/dining-room-breakdown ]
