Pirate Village

For the month of November I had to create a pirate inspired village. I wasn't sure how I was going to tackle this project as my texturing and level design skills are lacking, but I learned a lot during the weeks I was working on the assignment. I started with the basic blocking out but the original block out was changed for a more enclosed look. I also chose to capture an overcast night for the project since I like the idea of walking near the sea at night.

The project was made by using Maya, Substance Designer, Photoshop and Unreal Engine. I wanted to keep the design simple as the atmosphere was the main focus. I learned to use new tools with Substance Designer and Unreal for changing the lighting of the world. It was really fun learning all the ways the light can effect textures with PBR settings. I did struggle in this project as it was hard to find motivation, but I want to keep trying to make projects like these to improve as I feel it can help me greatly in the future if I master scenes like these.
