The last of the eleven rock-hewn churches to be built in Lalibela, the Church of Saint George, was built by King Gebre Mesqel Lalibela of the Zagwe dynasty and remains a site of huge cultural and religious significance. According to popular mythology, the king had an apparition in which one of God’s angels told him of plans for a building which could bring heaven down to Earth.

The project took me a few months to execute… on and off since I was new to Unreal Engine and Zbrush. Modelled basic shapes in Maya, Sculpted everything in Zbrush, Textured in Substance painter and did vertex painting on all meshes in Unreal to create variations/weather effects on the walls. Color graded in DaVinci with LUTs under post processing. Lighting is with Lumen.

I’m proud to present my second term capstone project at Vertex School, The Forgotten Library!
– Modeled in Maya
– Tileable plank floor material created with Substance Designer
– Props textured with Substance Painter
– Lighting and rendering done with Unreal Engine 5
The scene was created using Modular, Mid and Low-poly workflows. Textured with tileable materials, unique textures, and a trim sheet.
–
Some additional assets were used from Megascans such as the Foliage, Decals, and some set dressing props (Chair, Pots, Pencils, Rulers, Boxes, and Coat Hanger)
–
A big thanks to Salvador Sánchez, and Chris Vogelsang for all their feedback and guidance throughout the term!

My second capstone project here with Vertex School, this environment piece was inspired by Kevin Lee’s concept art: Desert Ruins. This was a pretty challenging project to work on, but I had a lot of fun bringing the scene to life. I’d like to thank the Vertex mentors and my fellow classmates for their continued support and feedback they’ve provided me. A special thanks to my mentor Chris, lab insctuctor Salvador and mentor Jacob for always pushing me to improve my art.

This is my project for term 2 at Vertex School. In this term we were tasked with creating a game ready environment piece. I decided to create an evening scene in a dark alley in London, specifically the St Bartholomew gatehouse area. I was captivated by the mix of modern and old in the area and the unique aesthetic. The Tudor style gatehouse depicted here dates back to the 1500’s and was restored in the 1930’s.

I love Pro wrestling!
Thats why i desided to make the legendary japanese wrestler The Great Muta as my Term 2 character project for Vertex School.

Explore my immersive 3D Environment created in Unreal Engine 5. This was made during my mentorship with Vertex School in our term 2. Witness the culmination of skills honed in design, lighting and Unreal Engine mastery.

“It’s the beginning of the 20th century and you enter a lush courtyard garden of an Italian cultural building. The complex is aged, but the garden is well tended to. Someone is in the process of looking after it now, with planting pots and gardening equipment dotted around. You might be able to spot some additional visitors. How many bunnies can you find? ”

Intercepted was my Term 2 environment art work at Vertex School. My mentor was Ben Merrick. He was very helpful and shared a lot of his knowledge and experience with his students. The hero prop in the scene is the old telegraph machine which can be found as a separate project in my portfolio (in the link below). The scene was modelled in Maya, designed within the mystery/thriller genre.

This project was a good exercise to generate and use trim sheet on the props. Adobe Substance 3D Designer was used to create tileable texture, intricate carvings, mouldings and profiles for the wood trims and other props. I also had the opportunity to learn and apply vertex painting to create variation in the setting (adding sandy dirt onto the floor). The breakdown of this project can be found in the link below.

I’m thrilled to share with you a project that has become a significant part of my life over the past few months. Named ‘Lost in the Jungle,’ this project is inspired by the movie ‘The Lost City,’ especially a stunning cave scene that captivated my attention. This scene motivated me to create something similar in Unreal Engine for my project at Vertex School.

Embarking on this journey has been an enlightening experience, filled with learning and experimenting with a variety of techniques. It’s been a path of both creative exploration and technical discovery.

Hello everyone!
I am very happy to share the Environment work I have done for my final term in Vertex School.
It is a work I have done based on the concept art of Zhipei Fu.
I would like to thank my mentor Ben Merrick as well as Salvador Sánchez for their feedback and guidance. I would also like to thank Ben Wilson for providing me with a valuable resource for Substance 3D Designer.

my character i made during my Vertex school mentorship. thanks to all the Mentors and classmates at vertex school that helped me during this project, I learned so many new great workflows for character creation, I cant wait to do more projects.
the character is an Imperial guardsmen in the Astra Militarum from the warhammer 40k universe.

*All assets were made by myself
