LabRATory (Unreal Engine, VR Game)

LabRATory is a VR game that was created during the summer of 2019 in a studio class as part of a 5 person group in Unreal Engine. Each group was advised by a couple of industry mentors who gave us feedback throughout the project. I had many roles during the project but most notably I did the programming, organic modeling, and world building/asset implementation. I will go over my programming contributions in that section of my portfolio.

Programs used:

Maya, Unreal Engine, Substance Painter, Photoshop

Pictured here are some screenshots of the game I took afterward in Unreal Engine. One of my partners, Meghan Grayson, did the body of material work and hard surface modeling. I did the whiteboxing of the world, level design, implementation, and dressed some areas. Along with that I did some early concepting.

Assets Modeled in above screenshots.

Rat Cage, Water Bottle, Skeleton Hand

Pictured here are the main assets I got to work on during the project, the rat hands. Intentionally creepy, they were meant to immerse the player in this eerie rat experience. And along with looking down a rat nose in VR the whole time, it worked!

During this project I also created the rat head, which you do not see much of during the game anyhow. Both the hands and head were modeled in Z Brush originally, then detail was baked into them with Substance Painter.

The rat head on the left was modeled in Z Brush then the detail was baked in with Substance Painter. You can see a shot of it in Substance on the right. The texture is not extremely detailed, as it does not appear in game a lot.
