MUG Shortfilm Environment

This post is really a teaser for an upcoming project, MUG the shortfilm! For almost a year now, myself and a team of students have been working on creating a 3D shortfilm for ACU's FilmFest 2024. I was the environment team lead, helping to guide the modeling and materials team as we built the set for our film. I had the pleasure of modeling many things myself, and doing the bulk of the prop textures. I also had the pleasure of decorating the scene, placing the props and adding some smaller details to make the set feel both real and in-step with the personality of the character who lives there.

Special thanks to Cody Gindy (@codygindy) for his inspiration and material tutorials that inspired our material style, and to Jackson Kennemer (jacksonkennemer9.artstation.com) for allowing us to borrow and adapt his node-based watercolor material.
