Hollowgrove Tavern |Â 3D Stylized Environment | UE5
March 2026-May2026
3D Asset Breakdowns | Clay & Wireframe Views
Hollowgrove Tavern is a stylized fantasy environment centered around cozy atmosphere, environmental storytelling, and immersive worldbuilding. Inspired by painterly fantasy games and nature-driven architecture, the project explores the relationship between warm lighting, handcrafted props, and organic overgrowth.
For this project, I focused on environment composition, lighting, material work, foliage placement, and set dressing to create a scene that feels lived in and visually cohesive. Special attention was given to color harmony, value structure, and guiding the player’s eye through lighting and environmental details.
