The project was developed entirely by me. I would like to thank butic The New School for all their support during the process.
Notes
Lapera is an unusual food store I designed years ago. It has been in my mind ever since so I decided to bring it to live in my master's final project.
I found many challenges in the way, starting by modeling the wooden staircase, baking the light of the whole space with almost no natural light and creating many props to fill the store with life. I can say know that the effot was worth it and that I enjoyed every step of the way.
As I said, in the original project I had to bake the light of the whole space but recently I had the oportunity to try the new UE 4.27 path tracing tool and this image is the result of that experiment.
It shows the frontier between the stairs and the store. In this spot everything changes: textures, light, atmosphere...I wanted to play with depth of field so the new space is blurred as if your eyes need a moment to adjust to the new surroundings.
