Stargazer's Hideout (Environment Art)
"A stargazer's house, away from civilization. They're not fond of cleaning up and prefers to look at stars all night."
An environment art project that took around 2 months to complete. I've made some minor mistakes in the 3D models, but I've learned how to deal with them for my future projects. All of the models you can see here were modeled and textured by myself, except for the rocks and floor outside the house (it belongs to the Canyon pack in Quixel). The models were created in Maya, reimported to Marmoset to smoothen the models, and then textured in Substance Painter. Lastly, the models were imported into UE5 to be arranged and lit.

Main House (UV Unwrap)
Kitchen Cabinets (UV Unwrap) It was exported with triangles because it was having display errors in UE5
Kitchen Sink (UV Unwrap)
Kitchen Dining Table (UV Unwrap) Has a lot of polygons since this was also the model's high-poly bake when smoothened.
Kitchen Arch (UV Unwrap)
Bed Frame (UV Unwrap) Base model before it was converted into triangles by UE.
Coffee Table (UV Unwrap)
Couch with Pillows (UV Unwrap)
Telescope (UV Unwrap) It was also the high-poly bake model when smoothened. Will avoid this in future projects.
Plant (UV Unwrap) The leaves are simple planes using Opacity maps.
