MEs Metaverse: Village of Permutations - Environment Art
For our first ever MEs Marketplace event our participant creator's worlds were all linked to the Village of Permutations, and central hub world from which visitors could come and explore all user-made creator worlds from a central location. The event concluded in November 2024 but those who follow our socials and discord can still access this hub and the artist's worlds should you be curious. All storefront and shop related assets are currently closed as they were exlusive for that event.
--------------------------------------
With just a sketch and high concepts provided by leads I was responsible for initial white/gray box prep (later adjusted some by design), all art asset preparation including kit bashing (UE Marketplace and some CG trader assets) and some original geometry in addition to custom materials shaders and post processing to bring the designers vision together for this final look. All kit bashing assets required game ready optimization to the point of supporting our software running on a Mac M2. The white box/gray box of the main walkable areas were tested and approved by designers before filling in the level with final art and off the main path shortcut zones which I arranged/dressed independently.
