We got the opportunity to speak to Michael who works in an animation company to take a look and give us feedback for our personal projects so far. Michael advised for to change my textures as my hospital was looking more like a museum than a hospital and to try a plain texture and thenContinue reading Meeting with Michael – feedback
Once I fixed the hallway shape from Sarahs advice, I began adding in textures to the hospital to start to bring it to life. I struggled to find a fitting texture for my scene, as i wanted it to look old and abandoned however I still wanted it to look like a hospital. Using Quixel,Continue reading Hospital draft one
I was watching the film ‘Scary Stories’ when I came across this interesting scene which was similar to the idea I had in my own head for my hospital scene in Unreal Engine. The scene displayed a hospital hallway with this green/blue lighting and the wheelchair in the main shot. This is exactly the ideaContinue reading Scary Stories – inspiration
Once my room was built I began to look at Quixel for some wall and floor textures that I could use for my hospital hallway, however I found this part super difficult as I really found it hard to decide what I wanted to go for.

LIGHTING MOODBOARDS Before I begin modelling any assets in Maya, I chatted to Alec about the best direction to take with creating my Hospital scene in Unreal Engine and he informed me it was best to create the room blockout and to focus on making the lighting for the room, as lighting is one ofContinue reading Unreal Lighting Inspiration
Here is the first draft of the blockout I have created for my abandoned hospital hallway, I added a texture to experiment with how well the materials would work on the alls and floor and this is not final, I wanted to make sure that all the assets were aligning properly. I am unsure ofContinue reading Hospital blockout
