Astronomer's Ambition - CGMA

On the brink of a great discovery, an astronomer utilizes all available resources to begin his rise in fame.

---------------------------------

My environment for Clinton Crumpler's Modular Environments CGMA course. This course was a huge learning experience as one of the main goals for this project was to create high-fidelity assets while maintaining industry-standard resource efficiency. One of the major inspirations for this scene comes from Ognyan Zahariev's Dumbledore's office environment. He breaks down his process in efficiently creating his desk which I imitated and took those lessons I learned onto other assets. Thanks to this, I learned techniques such as using hybrid textures, mirroring portions of assets, and offsetting UVs. I also learned new lighting and post-processing techniques such as Look Up Tables to push the environment further.
