Week 11 - Thursday: Grand Piano

I am adding more props to my portfolio. I did say I wasn't going to create any further assets but I saw this piece by Epic Games artist Scott Homer on Artstation and I was completely inspired:

Scott Homer Destroyed Grand Piano (2017).

It was the beauty of the grand piano being completely destroyed that made me want to create one for myself. My Unreal Engine scene has been occuppied with calculating light bakes at the moment which has left me with not much else to do besides 3D modelling. I decided to spend this time creating another strong asset piece to include in my portfolio.

A grand piano I created in 3DS Max. The low poly model is in blue on the left.

It took me three days spread across doing lighting tests within Unreal Engine to finish the asset:

The finished portfolio piece.

I am going to be using this asset at the end of the hallway so that it gives the illusion there is much more to explore.
