On Twilight Rails

This commission involved creating a looping animated train cabin environment to accompany the client’s story as a background.

The objective was to achieve a cozy, twilight atmosphere in a stylised, anime-inspired visual style. The scene was modelled in Blender and composed and rendered in Unreal Engine 5.

The background cityscape was created as a 2D concept in Photoshop, then mapped to alpha planes in UE5 and animated using parallax techniques to create depth. Select props, including books, plants, flowers, and the bag, were sourced from Substance Source.
