Siren Corp - Sci-Fi 60s Retrofuture Environment

Community Showcase Game Development

Hey everyone! I’d like to share my latest project with you all. I wanted to challenge myself with a space scene, but then I got really into the retrofuturism movement and also thought mermaids should be in space more often. It was quite difficult combining minimalism with space, and I hope I did it justice! I lit a daytime and nighttime scene and had fun playing around and fleshing out the fictional space station full of SPACE MERMAIDS.

Made with UE4, Blender, Maya, Photoshop, Substance Painter, Megascans and Mixer.
If you’d like to see a breakdown, you can check out my artstation post here.
Door texture provided by the lovely Nicholas Wheeler!

Follow me on Twitter here. I’m currently looking for junior enviro/lighting artist and level designer roles, if you’d like to hire someone that strongly believes in space mermaids, please email me at [EMAIL=“art.alextaylor@gmail.com”]art.alextaylor@gmail.com

Nice scene :smiley:

If I can make some suggestions, I would add a bit of mi’s for your computer screens because they obviously use all the same static material and add a bit of dept to your windows, it look like your scene is under water (glass effect) without the caustics. Maybe add a chrome frame around the windows to hide the low poly hole. I would add 1 or 2 small lights under the computer desks to add a bit of lighting contrast / variety.

Overall, very nice :slight_smile:
