Forgotten Shrine of the Master Sword | Environment Breakdown | UE5

A breakdown of Forgotten Shrine of the Master Sword, a playable environment created in Unreal Engine 5 for my final project at U-tad.

Inspired by The Legend of Zelda, the project explores an abandoned shrine hidden within a cold, misty forest. This breakdown covers the process from references and blockout to prop creation, foliage placement, VFX, lighting and optimization.

I modelled and textured the main props and created the fire, wisps and fireflies in Niagara. Vegetation and rain assets came from the Oak Forest pack by Andrey Gubin.
