This is an adaptation of an original 2D concept by Wu Shenyou.
My goal was to advance my development of using programs such as Substance Painter and Unreal Engine.
There were parts of this project that I chose to do in a specific way just so I could use a new tool or try something new in a program.
I first rendered with Arnold but have since updated to using Unreal Engine 5 for the final renders.
I created master PBR materials that I can now reuse for other projects, such as a material with an emissive Fresnel control, which is what I used on the roses here.
Mash in Maya was used to attach the thorns to the vines in a randomised way.
I would like to thank the artist for giving me permission to use their 2D Concept.
You can find it here, as well as many other awesome pieces by Wu Shenyou:
