The Snowdesert
The Snowdesert is the second concept for a game idea. In contrast to the dark underground cave, this scene is filled with brightness and is outside.

The Cave
I’m doing some concepts for a new game idea. One of these concepts is the cave, where the player character is supposed to be able to explore a vast system of human-made industrial structures in an even vaster emptiness.

Now, years later, I am about to do it properly in Unreal. Hopefully properly. Failed Starts I started off trying to create some…

Laser Turret (UE)
I wanted to do a laser effect with the limitation of not using any textures. So I made this combination of niagara emitters.

Container With Liquid (UE)
For one of the game projects I work on (together with splendidly lovely people, not just me alone), there’s an enemy type that swings a big container. The container is supposed to be filled with liquid. Originally that was in the texture, but then of course the liquid never moves. This is the container retextured…
