Lost Idol
You arrive on an island untouched by modern man, treasure map in hand, tales of untold riches fill your mind, you notice some
tribal markings on the entrance to a rocky cave that match the map and a smile cracks across your face. You venture deep inside the cave, cutting through overgrown vines, avoiding poison dart traps and snake pits until you see a light at the end of the tunnel. A ray of sunshine reaches down, illuminating the dark cave room, you walk trough the hallway and into the light, as your eyes adjust you see it, the fabled lost idol of the Polynesian tikki tribe.—
This project was my first endeavour into building environments in Unreal 5, sculpting a 3D character & applying motion capture data to it, & recording a cinematic video.
I chose the tikki temple theme inspired by the Polyneisan people & Crash Bandicoot as I thought it made the ‘Lost Idol’ theme more interesting them just a standard cave.
This project was a lot of fun and I learned so much about the creation process.
