EDEN

Real-time Environment capture in Unreal Engine 5

On this earth lay the Great Olive Tree, wise and all-mighty, peacefully guarding the sacred spring of the Temple of Eden. He is the embodiment of the divine precepts and the foundation of goodness. The Temple of Eden, once prosperous and inhabited by the children of Genesis, was abandoned after the transgression of one of the commandments decreed by the heavenly tree. It is now devastated and ruined, worthless and without followers to pray it. The legend has it that whoever explores the depths of the temple will find the essence of wisdom.

I create this scene while my last semester of baccalaureate at the NAD. I was inspired by the paintings of Max Röder and Johann Zahnd, Carl Frederic Aagard. I have created the assets needed for the scene, completed with some scans to finish my composition and use UDS for the lighting.

A big thanks to my partner in crime Laurence Cloutier for some of the FX. Thank's also to Michael Penta and Adrien Paguet-Brunella for all the good advices! You have made the difference!
