Game Environment Projects

Twilight's Edge - Improving

Unreal Environment Build and Concept Design

In the Upper City, wastewater cascades into the shadowy realms of the Lower City, while ghostly salt lakes sap the life from the surrounding forests. A city divided, it teeters on the brink of both dawn and dusk. Crafted with the power of Unreal Engine 5, this expansive landscape comes alive in a two-minute animation, offering viewers a captivating look into the intricate details of this mesmerizing world.

Echoing Silence

Unity Environment Build and Concept Design

In the serene valley lies a concrete fortress encircled by tranquil waters. Long after the echoes of war had faded from the region, nature reasserted itself, softening the harsh edges of the structure with a blanket of lush vegetation. Players can approach the ruins through the water, embarking on a journey of exploration within this reclaimed sanctuary.

Altas Swing

Unity Engine Environmental Design

Take top prize at NYC Gamejam 2023. In the game you become Altas who lost your model of the Earth that you were holding up. You need to retrieve your Earth and get back to your sculpture by playing golf before the citizens of New York start going to work.

Volcano Evacuation

Concept Design in Blender

Inspired by the Hawaiian volcano eruption, I created the story of the observation team that evacuated the volcano before its violent eruption. The volcano terrain, flowing lava and their materials were created using blender and photoshop was used to adjust the final image.

Cyber Cat

Concept Design and Modeling Exercise in Blender

When humans become conscious in the cyber world, they are still fanatical about cats with furry fur. But they will never be able to get the satisfaction of hugging and petting that they once had. Blender was used to create the room and every piece of furniture in it. The focus is on rendering the atmosphere through lighting to convey a joyful but implicitly conflicting mood.

Tech Skills

Modeling in Blender, Zbrush and Substance Painter

Showcased my work in modeling, including the PBR modeling process, character modeling and retopology, motion binding and animation.

Other works

These products are distributed as tickets at stations and can display destination-specific content. Passengers can show their destinations to find companions, and the products help them navigate subway transfers by following animated crowds.

VisualGuard

Concept Design

This project converts text into unrecognizable images to protect online chats from AI, verify humans, and counter malicious chatbots. Users input text, get AI-resistant images for human interaction verification.
