Unity 6 Environment Breakdown | Post-Apocalyptic City + Winter Variant | HDRP
🎮 Environment Art Breakdown | Phantom Cave Studio + Personal Study
Excited to share my latest freelance project built entirely in Unity 6 HDRP!
🔥 CLIENT WORK — Phantom Cave Studio:
Post-apocalyptic city environment from blockout to final render
Level design for industrial warehouse & research lab interiors
PBR Texturing & UV unwrapping for all marketplace assets
Lighting setup + baked GI in Unity 6 HDRP
Custom water shader created from scratch in Shader Graph
Complete set dressing, collider setup, occlusion culling & optimization
❄️ PERSONAL EXPLORATION:
As a creative challenge, I developed an alternate winter/snow variant of the main street. This was not part of the original brief — it was my initiative to demonstrate how drastically lighting and mood can shift the narrative of the same environment.
The goal: Show clients the full potential of their assets.
