Greetings, enthusiasts!
Prepare to be enchanted by "Cozy Modern Nook," my latest passion project crafted during free time. This visual marvel features stunning renders from a fully baked scene in Unreal Engine, no ray tracing or post-processing tricks—just pure Unreal beauty.
This project holds a special place in my heart, marking a transformative journey of learning and growth. Here's a glimpse into its captivating process:
Modeling in 3D Studio Max: Meticulously crafting the interior model to achieve the cozy ambiance.
Asset Acquisition and Unwrapping: Carefully selecting and unwrapping 3D models using RizomUV and 3Ds Max UVW unwrap for seamless integration.
FBX Usage and Lightmap Creation: Employing FBX files for custom lightmaps, crucial for flawless scene baking.
Real-time Optimization: Maximized FPS by forgoing ray tracing, using the Old GPU Light Baker for smooth performance.
Software Arsenal: Leveraging 3DS Max, Unreal Engine 4.26.2, Substance Painter, RizomUV, and Photoshop for texture fixes.
Despite challenges like a hacked YouTube account and deleted content, I'm determined to share anew. This experience has taught perseverance and adaptability, fueling growth as an artist and individual.
Your support means the world.
