3D Stylized Environment - SFAS 2023

Created in two weeks for ‘2023 Search for A Star Environment Challenge’, following a brief of building a game-ready scene based on the theme ‘Microcosmic’. Including a centrepiece, architectural object, large decorative object and a supportive prop.
All assets are modelled in Blender, textured in Substance Painter, and rendered in UE5.




Baba Yaga’s House


This five-day personal project reimagines the house of Baba Yaga from Slavic folklore, described as ‘a hut on chicken legs deep in the pine forest.’ The creation process involved concept art design, modelling, PBR texturing, scene assemblying and lighting.
Objects are modelled in Blender and textured in Substance Painter. External vegetation props are used in the render.

Polycount: House: 9271 | Pine Tree: 1316 faces


3D Illustration: Zine on Autobiographical Games


16-page publication summarizing my dissertation on autobiographical games. I approached multimedia textures and text playfully, combining both 2D and 3D elements. The retro and modern aesthetic aims to illustrate the nostalgic feelings often found in autobiographical games.
