Ethereal River

It's been a while I didn't post something there, and that's because I have some cool projects that are coming this year, and this is part of them.

Here's an environment I worked on recently with Unreal Engine 5. I took much inspiration from the amazing concept from Chris Falkenberg :

I wanted to it be more stylized that I used to do in my environments , with some bright and vibrant colors to add a bit of fantasy in the scene. I wanted to work foliage as grass, flowers and bushes by hand with speedtree or directly in Maya ; to sculpt stylized rocks in ZBrush that are a bit inspired by a "Ghibli style" and to work buildings textures in Substance Painter to add a "hand painted" style on it.

Compositing was made in Nuke, Modeling in Maya and most of texturing in Substance Painter. Rendered on Unreal Engine 5.4 with Lumen.
