Hawkins Lab

Having enjoyed the show so much I decided to create a Diorama style segment of the Hawkins Lab from Stranger Things, for my Second Module whilst at Escape. The main aim of this project was to try to replicate the eerie atmosphere of the abandoned lab, and the sense of an, 'after the event scene'. The Demogorgons have escaped 'The Gate' and beyond the incubation zone, the government workers have fled.
Produced in Unreal Engine 4 but this time using a PBR work flow, with the use of Substance painter and Designer for texturing. The scene was quite large for a diorama, so modularity was still an important aspect of the process. This project was a great opportunity to start experimenting with the use of FX and blueprints within Unreal, to try to capture the mood of the environment further.
