Undercity Corridor is another vignette made as a short personal project.
I this one, I wanted to focus on a couple of key design goals: fixed camera, mood, and lighting. In part this was inspired by a YouTube short by Hardy Fowler (The Stripe of Light), though ultimately Undercity Corridor has ended up much grimier as I sought to scratch my megacity itch at the same time.
On top of this, I wanted to have all the textures be hand-painted in photoshop. It's been a while since I've had the opportunity to revisit hand-painted textures, and I really enjoyed. While generators in substance painter can really speed up a pipeline, there's definitely more craft in painting by hand.
