Level Design and Concept Reference

Mood Board.png

Mood Board

  • Prior to starting, I outlined the direction I wanted to take, drawing inspiration from "Silent Hill." I delved into that direction, seeking reference images and inspiration, and created a mood board to capture the desired emotional tone.

  • Once I settled on the theme, I began with basic level design, drawing inspiration along the way. I created a simple level layout and used appropriate modeling references for initial geometric construction (Blockout). I identified the modular components to be created, established a materials list, and developed a development plan based on the design.

Modelling and Building

  • Then, following the preparatory work, begin modeling and start building in UE5.

  • After completing the white box, it's time to create materials and textures, and try various styles on the white box until the right one is found.

  • Next, add non-architectural scene objects and props (from online resources) to enhance the overall diversity and atmosphere of the scene.

  • ​Finally, adjust the lighting and particle effects to create an atmosphere that matches the mood and theme.
