This university project focuses on studying photorealism and recreating it through the use

of CGI - resulting in an atmospheric sci-fi scene inspired by TV show "Westworld".

Type: Animation

Following learnings were crucial

throughout the process:


  • analysing photorealistic features

  • greyboxing and scaling

  • some of the assets were imported from a Unreal engine scene

  • modelling

  • texturing and UV unwrapping

  • lighting and compositing

Blender was used as main tool,

rendered in cycles.
