Overview

This 3D environment, created entirely in Maya, captures the eerie and mysterious atmosphere of an abandoned industrial factory. Inspired by rusty, decaying buildings, this scene is designed for a game or movie setting, evoking a sense of mystery and storytelling.

Concept & Process

The project began with research and inspiration, gathering reference images from Pinterest and Google to create a mood board that established the overall theme. After sketching rough ideas in my notebook, I moved into Maya to start the modeling process. The workflow followed a typical structure:
✔ Modeling the architecture and props
✔ UV mapping and texturing to add realism
✔ Lighting and composition to enhance mood and depth
✔ Final rendering for a cinematic look
