Soul Reaver: Reimagined - Sarafan Stronghold

Hey all!
I share in a love for the world of Soul Reaver alongside many others,
so for this bit of personal work, I took the opportunity to explore some of UE5's newer features to reimagine this classic environment from Soul Reaver 2, The Sarafan Stronghold.

I had a great time recreating the Soul Reaver blade and giving it a home in this scene, taking the opportunity to work on both my compositional and lighting skills.

Looking to further push myself as an artist. I created this scene from scratch utilising Maya for modelling and UV's, Zbrush for sculpting my high poly assets, both Substance Designer and Painter for the texturing of these assets, and I also utilised Photoshop to create some custom alphas for brushes.
I then took advantage of UE5's Nanite and Lumen features to help bring this scene to life!

I'd like to give special thanks to several individuals who provided feedback on my work here
Really appreciate it guys!
