Autumn Watermill

Stylised water mill scene created in UE5 using the theme: 'A Shift in The Wind.' 

Amongst other techniques, this project has allowed me to explore:

• Runtime Virtual Texturing
• Trimsheets
• Modular Building
• Material Creation (Substance Designer)

Overall, I'm extremely proud of the scene I managed to create. I greatly developed my skills as an environment artist - learning about runtime virtual texturing and expanding my understanding of modular building kits and trimsheets.

 In hindsight, I was slightly ambitious with the project. There were key areas which I felt that if I had more time, I would have polished further. Not only this, but my planning could have been improved as the late addition of the windmill was somewhat of an oversight.

 Despite this, I believe the strengths of the scene are in the use of colour and the tone of the environment. 

Working on this project was a lot of fun, giving me an opportunity to implement and test out a lot of new techniques to me. I'm looking forward to bringing the skills this project has taught me to future environments!
