Tivan's Communications Hub - Guardians of the Galaxy Fan Art

I was inspired to make this environment slice after watching Guardians of the Galaxy a couple of years back now. The scene is only in the movie for about 1.5 seconds however it captured my interest and immediately inspired me to get working on it.

It's taken a long time to complete in between full time work and personal commitments, but I'm really pleased that I stayed committed to the project throughout this long period and to finally be able to share a portfolio piece after all this time. I feel that keeping tabs of progress using screenshots after each milestone definitely helped motivation, you can see this in the attached video. And huge thanks to everyone that helped me out along the way with feedback and CC!

To create the scene, the main modelling was created in Maya, the texturing done in both Photoshop and Substance, and engine used is Unreal Engine 5.

Character models obtained on Mixamo and not my own work, however I felt that it really helped bring the scene to life adding these in.
