Hey everybody!!
I am so so excited to finally release this project! By far the most ambitious 3D environment I've worked on so far, and I'm super proud of it! I wanted to challenge myself in every aspect of 3D I have been learning so far and complete it in a reasonable time frame. Took about a month, that's kinda ok maybe haha! I obviously love abandoned stuff... and slightly creepy stuff... so I stuck it together in a rural environment. There is a story going on, maybe some lore, but I'll leave it up to your interpretation. WAIT, there will be a MASSIVE and affordable course releasing in the next few weeks on the entire creation process for this scene too! I will go through the modeling, texturing, compositing, foliage creation, writing, blockout, EVERYTHING. Stay on the lookout for that.
The abandoned house is obviously the center piece of the scene and I made sure to take a ridiculous amount of time with all its details. Every little scratch and speck of dust on the house was completely hand painted in Painter! The trees are all 100% custom made using speedtree which was an amazing endeavor! Nothing as satisfying as watching your tree blow in the wind after spending hours working on it. The grass in the foreground is graswald of course! By far the highest quality grass assets out there, highly recommend. The wind for the grass however is a custom geometry node based system I made myself... more details on how to make that in my course. Quixel for a lot of various materials of course, as well as textures.com and poliigon for the rest! The sky is an HDRi.... everything composited in Resolve... hmmm yeah that's about it. Thanks!
