I worked on a visual tech demo with my colleague Gábor Szász at Primal Game Studio in 2019. We had a very limited time - around 1 month. Our goal was to find out the optimal workflow and technology for a fast PBR content creation and optimal hardware utilization for a darker Sci-Fi corridor shooter in the Unreal Engine 4 (try to minimize the draw call and the instances). We divided the work into two areas: Corridor and Hangar and we are used different content methods and very few PBR materials (trim sheets).
I worked on the Corridor with the shell method and he worked on the Hangar with a closed "universal" mesh method for later measurements.
We started our areas with designing and creating the content, importing it into Unreal Engine, building, and lighting. I created some basic VFX smokes, animated doors, animated lights, sounds just to give more atmosphere to the scene.
Yes, the Alien vibe is intentional :) The studio was involved in the Alien Fireteam project. Unfortunately, the project was shelved when Disney acquired 20th Century Fox. Later the company did not participate in the revived project.
