After 9 long months my honours project, "Botanic Palace" is complete. Based on this piece of concept art by Dimitri Neron (https://neron.artstation.com/projects/5eaZP) , I aimed to create a game-ready 3D environment for a third person action or rpg game. The project focused purely on the art side of things and not gameplay, but I added collision to allow myself to run around and experience the environment as intended for a player. Every asset was made from scratch by myself, and the scene runs between 30-40 fps using hardware ray tracing on a RTX 2060 Super card, in UE5.
