What you can see here was created during an Artstation Challenge in February/March 2021. The topic was "Grand Space Opera: Light Age". In this challenge 3D Artists all around the world where asked to pick a 2D concept that was submitted in an earlier challenge.
This project was my first Artstation Challenge and a personal challenge. I learned so much on the way by trying out new tools and workflows. I created the entire world from scratch including landscape, lighting setup, materials and 3D assets.
One major goal was to convey the mood of the original 2D concept art. The focus was to bring this fantastic environment scene to life.
After all I have grown my skills in all those magic 3D tools and the most important: it was a lot of fun! I worked passionately on that scene with the desire to get a feeling of this magic universe.
I hope you enjoy the "3D translation" of the scene:) . If you want to see the original 2D concept please follow this link: https://www.artstation.com/contests/grand-space-opera-light-age/challenges/97/submissions/61908
There you can get a glance of how the entire scene grew at first in blender and later in Unreal Engine from start to finish.
