"The Phantom Thief of Hearts and JoJo's Golden Gang-Star face off!"


On this 'Death Battle!' I was assigned to put together an environment based around the Saint Peter's Basillica in the Vatican. Most of the process took place in Blender, using modeling techniques to create roman-gothic architecture for individual pieces of the cathedral, then using array and warp modifiers alongside instancing to assemble the entire structure. Texturing was done by way of using Blender's material node tree, and using photoshop to paint in floor decals; afterwards, everything was baked down after organizing UVs.

The entire environment was then exported as a gltf and improted into Unreal Engine 5, where it recieved a full lighting pass, extra props such as wall ornaments, chandeliers, candelabras, statues, and stained glass windows.
