Hi all! Here’s my artwork based off a real bicycle rental shop that went out of business in Pulau Ubin, Singapore.
Hopefully this artwork will now let more people in the world know about the existence of these shophouses bicycle rental that existed on the tiny island of tiny Singapore.
Here’s the artstation link for more images and breakdown: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/VyY4BZ
Hope you’ll like it!
I originally started this project in UE4, utilising RTXGI by Nvidia, and I’ve shifted over to UE5 ever since RTXGI became supported over there.
I did try lumen but I ended up liking the result of the GI from RTXGI more
Most modelling were done in Maya, some in Zbrush. Some fabric made with Marvelous Designer.
Most textures are tiling/trim textures made in Substance Designer.
Some props are textured in Substance Painter.
All foliage assets are from epic store/megascans.
Thanks for viewing!

Greetings @Autumn-CW !
The level of detail you’ve put into this project is fascinating! The irregularity and perfect imperfections make this project very unique and comparable to a live snapshot. This is a great way to immortalize Singapore history. Is the building still standing or has it been demolished? How long has it been since this rental shop went out of business?
Thank you so much!!
I believe the building is still standing at the moment, there are a few other surviving bicycle rental shops just in its vicinity.
It’s been about 2 years since it went out of business but no one really knows why the owner decided to close it off, it could have been personal reasons, like deciding to move to the main land.
But it’s fascinating because most of mainland Singapore’s shophouses are either getting renewed or demolished. This island actually have the few remaining kampong style shophouses

It does look fab, but I’m definitely not renting a bike from there…
