Environment design

For the environment design, since the robot is heavily inspired by Evangelion, I decided to create a massive hangar space — something large enough to accommodate a robot of this scale.

After a series of adjustments and layout tests, I ended up with a scene that fits my robot design very well — a space filled with a strong industrial atmosphere. I used a vertical structural layout to emphasize a sense of depth and scale within the scene.

In preparation for the upcoming animation, I also added a vertical elevator shaft to the hangar structure, designed to transport the robot. This addition not only serves a narrative function but also adds another layer of complexity and realism to the environment.

With this, the scene design is mostly complete. The next stage will be a crucial one — developing the storyboard and animation.

Reflection

Scene design involves less modeling from scratch, but it places more emphasis on managing the overall composition. It requires coordinating assets from different sources and making sure their styles align, in order to build a cohesive and visually consistent environment.
