A barn workshop environment featuring the workbench as the hero prop. My goal was to explore storytelling through environment art while improving optimization workflows for Unreal Engine 5.7 and Nanite.

The scene captures the calm before an approaching storm. Although warm and peaceful at first glance, the open window, wind and unfinished repairs hint that something is about to change.
