Personal Project
Watch Dogs 2 | Marcus' Room
Adapting a concept into a fully-realized, immersive virtual space.
Project overview
Case Study Summary
Background
This project was inspired by the Watch Dogs 2 video game. The goal was to create the main character's room which never appeared in the final game.
Contributions
I handled everything from 3D modeling and texturing to lighting schemes and visual effects. By meticulously taking care of each creative and technical aspect, I succeeded in materializing what was once just a concept into a fully-realized, immersive virtual space.

Process and Results
Building the Foundations
3D Modeling and Texturing
Marcus' Room stands as a testament to my intricate 3D modeling and texture baking skills. By focusing on even the minutest details, I was able to convert an abstract concept into a believable, tangible space.
- 3D Modeling: Handled the design and construction of all 3D models, paying close attention to geometrical accuracy and detail.
- Texture Baking: Utilized advanced techniques for baking textures onto the models, enhancing their visual appeal and realism.
- Asset Optimization: Ensured the 3D models and textures were optimized for performance, maintaining a balance between visual quality and runtime efficiency.
- Artistic Integrity: Successfully translated concept art into 3D models, preserving the artistic vision while adding my own creative touches
Illuminating a Digital Space
Lighting and Post-Processing
The atmosphere of Marcus' Room was significantly amplified by my work on lighting schemes and post-processing techniques. These elements not only embellished the scene but also contributed to a deeply immersive gaming experience.
- Advanced Lighting: Developed complex lighting schemes that added depth and mood to the virtual environment.
- Visual Effects: Implemented a range of visual effects to complement the lighting and add dynamism to the scene.
- Post-Processing: Managed all post-processing work, including color grading and visual enhancements, to elevate the final output to the highest quality standards.
- Technical Finesse: Leveraged in-engine tools to ensure optimal lighting and post-processing effects without compromising performance.
