Two Worlds of a Postmodern City

Two Worlds of a Postmodern City

 Upper World

The upper part of the city: Many neon lights, glass windows and clean air.

The lower part of the city is much darker and dirtier. The street lights give the alley a cold and lonely ambience.

Van Goghs Café de la Future

Van Goghs Café de la Future

Van Goghs Cafe Terrace At Night in 2040

The idea was to create a scene with a motive that already exists, but bring it into today's time and space and perhaps even in a further future.

I choosed the Café Terrace At Night by the Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh because it was painted almost 140 years ago so that we can see some differences in the lighting. This café still exists in Arles and nearly nothing has changed there. So I decided to keep some remarkable sweet spots as the lamp in the front, the tables and even the pub windows on the other side of the street.

In order to transfer it to today’s world or perhaps even into the future, I decided to do the scene at night. This gives me the opportunity to add many emissive lights so that they not only brighten up the road but also make it appear more vivid even without placing some people into the scene.

It was created with blender by using it's realtime render engine Eeevee. My focus was on modeling, shading and lighting a scene, so that the only non-self-created objects are the textures of the facades on the houses.

Light in a Forest

Light in a Forest

The idea of this scene was to create one environment with different light settings.

A forest is a great place for a natural environment. So I choosed it to create four different light settings: Morning, Afternoon, Evening and Night.

Every Setting has it's own Light and Post Processing Setup with a unique Color Grading.

For me, it was also important to show a feeling within those settings.

So maybe the afternoon would be pretty cloudy so we would feel uncomfortable and cold. So the colors were also changed in the post processing into grey and bluish tones.

Twin Worlds

Twin Worlds

Twin Worlds consists of one level created in Unity and one level created in Unreal Engine 4. The worlds can be switched between by entering the tornado and maelstrom respectively that act as portals connecting the two worlds. Afterwards the current scene is closed and the other automatically opened, as they are two different executables.

 

Skills

Blender

Using nodes for shading is one of my greatest passions in Blender. I am also experiencend in working with modifiers, the modeling tools and animation. I love to experiment with the texturing and grease pencil tools.

Substance Painter

The layer-system gives me the opportunity to use my photoshop skills in substance on various 3D-models. Giving color and a unique material to every single object while adding some details on them lets me adapt to different styles.

Unity

Interactive applications and games. Knowledge of lighting system and different render piplines. Working with Shader Graph. Using Git.
