As part of a 3D task I was asked to do for uni, I had to recreate a scene in 3D from a 2D source image.
The source image is by an artist named Sebastien Larroude; Larroude is a concept artist, artistic director and co-founder of Steambot Studios.
He has worked on many large-scale projects and titles, such as; X-Men: Days of future past, Batman: Arkham Origins, Thief 4, Deus-Ex: Human Revolution, Godzilla (2015), Black Ops 2: Buried Zombies map.
However, the image I was asked to re-create wasn’t from any of the aforementioned projects; the image is named “A place I have ever known before”.
The next image is my 3D render of the source material, re-created in Unreal Engine 4. The building model was created in 3DSMax.
Obviously it is perfect in every way and has no flaws whatsoever… (… did anyone believe that? No? ok…)
Obvious problems with my version of the scene:
- The fog doesn’t look like it should, however it has set the lighting to a pretty accurate recreation.
- All of the materials in the scene are UE4 presets, so they don’t “fit” great with the scene; but they kinda work.
