Hueco Mundo (UE5)

Photo-realistic real-time 3D game environment/level inspired by the desolate fantasy desert known as Hueco Mundo (AKA "Hollow World") featured in the popular anime and manga Bleach by Tite Kubo. Images of Bleach's Hueco Mundo served as a Moodboard for this project.

Using a combination of UE5's Quixel Megascan textures and assets, Lumen for lighting, a height map for the landscape of the desert, and the exported "grey boxes" I modelled in Blender I was able to re-create Hueco Mundo in a more realistic setting compared to the 2004 TV Anime.

In addition, the environment can be traversed as a third-person game and has background music from the original Bleach OST.
