The Enchanted Forest ( final animation)

Purpose

My goal with my animation (The Enchanted Forest) is to make people feel relaxed and enchanted by the beauty of the setting and soothing sounds of the background music.

Process

The Enchanted Forest was a project that I planned to use to improve my modelling and texturing skills by going into more of a stylized route similar to WOW and Sea of Thieves. This was a challenge as I had to do a few extra steps such as hand painting seamless textures for the walls, floor, and roof of the mill. I also had to sculpt some detail into my models such as the chimney, door, etc.

Overall my part in this project was modelling the individual pieces that makes up the house such as the door, water wheel, lamp post, chimney, etc. I also constructed the landscape using my watermill asset and asset packs which I sourced from the Unreal Engine store.
