Set Design - Unreal Engine - Kenneth A. Larson

I have been doing 3D drafting and Computrer Modeling for over 30 years. I have recently started using Unreal Engine for rendering those models. Below are a few early projects, some from training, some on my own.

I made this UFO in Rhino just for fun.

Final project in an Unreal class, Summer 2024. The exercise was making a forest using Procedural Content Generation with an imported cabin in a clearing. I wanted to do something more interesting, so I made this structure in Rhino 8. 5 second Video, 11 second Video.

Office, rendering exercise. This exercise used an asset from the 'free for the month' in November 2022, but I did it from a recording in June 2024. I downloaded two asset packs to complete the project and made the conference table in Unreal using Modeling Mode.	Bistrot Restaurant, lighting exercise. I started with blank walls and added materials, assets, and lights.
I did this Unreal Engine class in2024, it was recorded in 2022. It had a different instructor from many of the other classes I've taken and it was good to get another point of view and I learned many new things about Unreal.

The car and sculptures are imported assets, I modeled the architecture and displays in Unreal. I made the decal in Photoshop and UE. Video.	Quick exercise making a cave. Video.
Another Unreal Engine Class, Summer 2024.

A fun little exercise in a falling sculpture. Video.	A fun little exercise in making a Blueprint to control lights. Video.

My career started as a Visual Effects Model Maker working on Sci-Fi and space projects. I found Mission to Minerva in the Marketplace and wanted to create something with it.

I created the seascape with the Landscape sculpting tool and arranged imported assets. Then added a camera track. Video.

Imported low poly assets into a landscape.

One day, while still learnig Unreal, I made a series of vignettes using assets from the Matketplace.
