For this project, I developed an environment that was focused on visual steering. I made all 3D assets and textures, which allowed me to progress in ZBrush and Substance Painter quite a bit! It was so much fun to create a level from the beginning to the end and I'm really happy with the new things I learnt along the way!

I started designing the level by making a storyboard. The last picture depicts a puzzle, which I will explain down below!

This is the 3D visualization of the puzzle with animations! The way to solve the puzzle was to remember the right color code order during a time-pressured event.

A chunky blockout I made as a base for the environment. I made a modular rock pack for this project, which made building over the blockout very convenient.
