UE Interactive Real-Time Trophy Gallery / Showroom

Work project (company/client).

Product concept: trophy-based career progression (idea provided by lead).

My work: end-to-end real-time implementation — 3D assets, lighting, UI flow, and scalable gallery environment for hundreds of trophies.

I designed and built the entire piece end-to-end: concept, 3D assets, materials, lighting, camera work, UI screens, and the underlying interactive system.

Scaled from 58 to 612 trophies by moving from manual creation to a modular trophy generator (5-part assembly).

Built a scalable trophy gallery where the environment expands with collection growth.

Implemented interactive UI flow: menu → walkthrough → trophy detail view.

Project story

This is a company work project (an internal product/client-style order). We’re developing a business application with a career progression mechanic: when users reach goals, they unlock trophies. The core trophy concept and the message/content shown when a trophy is awarded were defined by my lead.

The initial brief was minimal: 58 trophies awarded for goal completion. Later the scope scaled up to 612 trophies, so we started by building a trophy generator: one trophy system assembled from 5 modular parts, allowing us to produce the full set through combinations. At this scale, we needed a dedicated Trophy Gallery — an interactive space where the “room” expands as the collection grows.

This video shows my implementation of the gallery: the real-time 3D scene, lighting/lookdev, presentation, and UI flow (menu → walkthrough → trophy detail view). Although it was built as part of my current role, I’m open to collaborations

A small elven world, shaped from light and intention ✦

This cinematic scene is a study of atmosphere —

where composition, lighting, and color come together to create a living space.

The environment was assembled using assets from FAB and other 3D platforms,

then carefully arranged, lit, and brought to life inside Unreal Engine 5.6.

I focused on:

✦ Lighting design (fully built by me)

✦ Composition and scene balance

✦ Material adjustments and visual harmony

✦ Camera motion and pacing

✦ Sound layering and atmosphere

The scene transitions between two states:

— Day: light, airy, playful, with natural elven tones

— Night: deeper, mystical, with blue and golden accents

All audio was selected and layered to match the emotional flow of the scene.

This piece reflects my approach to building worlds —

not from scratch, but through careful selection, transformation, and harmony.
