Part of my reference and info
Thrilled to share our small but unique HeXpunk city! As the Environment & Level Designer, I did the greyboxing, modular asset creation, and cityscape assembly, working closely with our talented team to bring this stylized world to life.
My Contributions:
✅ Greybox & Layout Design – Blocked out the cityscape, business streets, interior routes (based on Ester’s concept art), and environmental storytelling elements like pipes and decorations. Iterated for both artistic cohesion and player experience.
✅ Modular Building Kit – From block-in to high-poly to optimized low-poly, I created a versatile asset pack (for all buildings except the factory) and assembled them into a unique, layered cityscape.
✅ Texturing & Groundwork – Designed tiling textures for varied surfaces: park ground, paths, main streets, dust, and moss to add depth.
✅ Lighting - Main Menu, Character selection menu, Gallery
✅ Logo & Branding Design – Modeled custom logos for the main factory ManaCore and small stores to enrich the world’s identity.
✅ VFX - Acid character special abilities
✅ Animation - 2 character animations and 1 enemy animation
✅ Problem-Solving & Adaptability –
- Stepped in to help teammates complete critical assets under tight deadlines.
- Reused and mixed texture maps creatively to fill gaps (e.g., new materials from existing maps).
- Repurposed/modularized assets to cover missing needs without sacrificing consistency.
- Polished collision, overlaps, and floating meshes for seamless gameplay.
- Collaborated with Denise to refine texture settings, ensuring visual harmony across the environment while jointly improving game optimization.
- Optimized lighting in the starting zone - Redesigned illumination to better guide player navigation while fixing originally poor visibility that hindered gameplay flow.
Team Synergy:
✨ Denise – Crafted the hero factory building, hero magic storm VFX, and helped polish the environment decoration together.
✨ Ester – Brought the interior spaces to life with stunning concept art and modelling.
✨ Rain – Added natural charm with park - trees and rocks.
✨ The Whole Team – Contributed environment assets, allowing me to decorate and detail the city into a cohesive, lived-in world.
This project was a true collaboration, and I’m so proud of what we’ve built together! Can’t wait to share more soon.
A massive thank you to all our incredible instructors for your invaluable guidance and support throughout this program—this achievement truly wouldn’t have been possible without you!
I’m especially grateful to my 3D mentors, Kevin Salki and Matt Broeska, for their unwavering support, patient guidance, and endless encouragement that helped me grow both technically and creatively.
