1980's Pizza Arcade
My thesis project, inspired by 80's movies and my love of gaming...and pizza. I wanted to focus a bit more on lighting and texel density than my other projects in UE4 were allowing. The scene is rendered in Redshift, a renderer I have fallen for thanks to its blistering fast render times and artist friendly UI and documentation.
2D Art is not my calling, but I had a lot of fun coming up with fun fictional games.
It is surprising to me that Lizard vs Wizard is not already a game.
The overall scene ended up a bit darker than I had intended at this mid point of the project, as I was still new to Redshift and balancing its settings was challenging.
I like how much table clutter I was able to produce, but missing food left things feeling a bit empty.
Really proud of my Carlisle cups (the ubiquitous red plastic cups you see in America.)
The main feature I wanted at this stage was an exterior. Happy with how the light haze came out in this shot, though.
Faking black light and its glow in fluorescent objects was a fun challenge.
