A modern recreation of the famous Necropolis town from the Heroes of Might and Magic III game.
The enitre process of bringing this project together consisted of converting the Necropolis town to 3D space, populating it with creatures and adding layer of various environmental effects to bring out the undead atmosphere. There was also a focus on creating cinematic quality characters based on 2D references from the Heroes 3 game.
I started this project in 2023 as a followup to my Castle Town in UE5 video and have been intermittently working on it since. It was lot of fun and the entire project served as a good testbed for UE5 workflow.
