Old City Hall Station

This was one of our first exploration projects into UE 5.0 back in 2022 as part of Iron Galaxy's Artistic Learning Initiative. It was completed in two phases, each with their own team. We aimed to recreate the abandoned Old City Hall Station in New York and then build on top of it. Phase 01 consisted of planning, reference gathering, env blockouts, shader creation, modeling, UV's, lighting, texture creation, and UE 5.0 system exploration. Phase 02 consisted of set dressing with quixel assets for a visual narrative pass.
