Homemade Castle Set
This castle set is one of the hero props for a 3D short film that I am currently working on with a team of 4 other artists in Unreal Engine. It is about a little girl who wants to become a director, and how her father builds homemade movie sets for her and supports her passion as she grows up. In the film, the daughter revisits her father's garage as an adult, and finds this castle set as a memory of her childhood and a memory of her dad.
Render showing 4 stages of the castle set. The first three are as it is being built, and the last one is when it gets rediscovered 25 years later
Three texture variations on the complete castle mesh: being painted, complete, and 25 years later
