Project Escapism was inspired by Sixnfive and Sébastien Baert. Both have outstanding work, Sixnfive has collaborated with brands such as Samsung, Burberry and Microsoft while Sébastien is a multidisciplinary designer with great storytelling and compelling Designs.
Minimal yet Challenging:
It was great working on this project but, the workflow required a unique approach to figuring out aspects such as;
Curtain - How can Lighting go through the fabric?
Generating Landscapes and Waterbody
Physics simulation in Unreal's Sequencer (Curtain movement)
How did I approach this project?
Every project begins with inspiration, so with the help of Pinterest, I got references based on surreal Interior Environments and used Pureref to gather selected images as seen above.

Before importing to Unreal Engine, we prepared our file and ensured Uv Unwrapping (Lightmaps) and Face Orientation were properly set up.
Unreal Engine: Generating Landscape and Waterbody
Waterbody:
Setting up the ocean and adjusting wave attributes to ensure subtle water patterns
Landscape: Island
Determining the size of our landscape as we apply sand material
Curtain: Physics simulation
Using Blueprints as we test curtain wind simulation
Final Touches:
Setting up cameras and tweaking the scene to capture great angles
