For my mentorship with Paulygonn, I decided to create a small environment in UE5.
I always wanted to create an 3D environment in a game engine, but everytime I tried, I always got lost into the progress.
I never knew how to tackle how to get started, what kind of steps I needed to set before starting, what kind of research and prep work was needed. During this mentorship, I learned a lot and I finally gathered the confidence to start creating environments on my own!

I decided that I didn’t want to make an exact 1:1 copy of the concept, and wanting to add little elements to the environment to add a bit of flare to the scene.
The things I wanted to change were the books that were placed on the shelves, I took pictures of cooking books I already owned and googled some cooking books that I found interesting. I also looked around for different cake designs, and gathered a lot of different cakes. But I decided the existing cake was just the best and I didn’t want to change it after all.
