Dreams (AAU Collab Summer 2020)

I was the 3D Project Lead for this AAU collab project with a team of modeling/texture artists. We took a narrative created by the design team and corresponding level blockouts to produce this level over a period of six weeks. This game is a very early Alpha build of the very first level which takes place in a run-down detective office.

Most models and textures were created by the 3D art team below:
