Stylized Garden
Stylized Garden — Cinematic Environment Study
Unreal Engine 5 | PCG | Lumen | Stilized
Overview
A stylized environment focused on achieving a cohesive visual language through lighting, color grading, and post-processing in Unreal Engine.
The project explores a soft, painterly look with controlled color palettes, emphasizing readability and mood over realism. Special attention was given to how lighting and post-process settings shape the final image, including contrast, saturation, bloom, and atmospheric depth.
