Project Overview:
For my final project at Full Sail University, I created a 1969 Chevy Camaro, inspired by the encouragement of close friends. This project allowed me to refine my skills and gain valuable insights into automotive 3D modeling.
I focused on enhancing the model’s topology and applied automotive materials using Unreal Engine. To achieve a lifelike appearance, I incorporated pinstripes and set the scene on an old, abandoned bridge, augmented with a forest HDR and post-processing adjustments.
Utilizing Unreal Engine’s tools, including sky atmosphere and directional lighting, I aimed for realistic lighting effects. Before exporting from Maya to Substance Painter, I integrated color ID maps to add complexity and depth to the project.
Despite the challenges, this project was a significant learning experience. As I look forward to graduation, I am excited to continue practicing and improving my skills, building on the foundation laid at Full Sail and supported by friends.
