CELTIC ENVIRONMENT

 

This is a personal project I worked on over the course of 5 months. My intention was to design, model and texture a complete environment. My core influences were British bronze age settlements and a variety of pagan traditions. All assets are my own.

CONCEPT

Below are a series of initial concepts I have created to give me an early idea of the direction the scene needs to head in. At this stage I am finding a focal point and exploring interesting compositions throughout the scene.

Below is a quick paintover of the roundhouse interior, developed to give myself an idea of the subject matter within this space. I am continuing to make visual design decisions based on historical references and research. This is something I hold in very high regard as it will lead a more convincing and interesting scene.

further development (work in progress)

At this stage I am beginning to develop the mood of the roundhouse interior as I model and texture various elements of the scene. Lighting is all realtime in UE4 however in the coming weeks, as more assets are developed, I will be bake static lighting.
