AER Lab: Unreal Environment Concept
AER (Another Engineering Research) Lab is a mechanical and robotics R&D corporation in the year 2045.
This is an Environment gray box I designed and kit bashed together and brought into Unreal for playtesting and lighting.
The goal was to design the layout interesting for player traversal with some obstacles, mission objectives, verticality and some exciting payoff at the end once you find the room. I wanted to give each room some character and personality
I wanted to treat this to make it believable with proper design, brainstorming and reference gathering to create the block out. Hope you like!
