Individual Research Project

As it is my final year in University, this is one of the main assignments I have been tasked with.

With some minor setbacks in the previous semester the next major stage of making this environment is adding in some character! With the landscape and exterior of the main area being populated with 3D models and textures, the focus is now on the inside as well as the key focus of what my IRP is all about... lighting.

The initial stages of creating this environment meant establishing how the conclusions from the written essay could be implemented in a practical visualization. The three main areas covered were: Lighting emotionally manipulating players, Lighting being used to directionally manipulate players as well as Lighting being a core gameplay mechanic.

Therefore, the scenes primary focus will be originated from these concepts.

Below are the current stages of the environment, with 3D textured models etc. These are all still very much in prototype phase, the lighting has also been altered for the purpose of screenshots.
