This is an environment I've worked on for one month during my free time as a personal project.
My goals were to train my abilities to set up a complete CG set in a short amount of time and to work on some naturals assets as well as some structural assets.

I took as references some Cambodian temples like the temple of Preah Khan.
This project was the opportunity to learn how to sculpt effectively bricks and stones. All the structures are sculpted personally in Zbrush and the main trees too.
I use some Megascans assets for the vegetation and scatter them in Maya with MASH networks.
The textures are a mix of hand-painted and photo projections.
I also took the opportunity to train my lighting abilities by setting three different lighting environments.

It was a very formative project for me and the first natural environment I build.
I can't wait to produce more environments in full CG and improve my skills.

I hope you will like it!
