Tony’s House
Project Description
Tony’s house was the final submission for my MA Games Art. The key aim of the project was to represent how games engines could provide a useful way of visualising architectural spaces.
Project Challenges:
At the time of development, major game engines did not include support for Physically Based Rendering. So a significant part of the project was to explore Physically Based Rendering in Unreal Engine 3, besides implementing partial PBR I also optimised the shaders created to ensure they where easily used by other artists.
