1950's American Diner

This diner was initially a project that I created in my first year of university in 2023. I really like the bright, neon, retro style of 1950's/60's American Diners and wanted to try and replicate it. More recently, I have returned to the project to re-render it in Unreal Engine 5 as the original was done using Arnold render. As well as this, I have also re-modelled many of the assets, now utilising a modular workflow, updated textures and improved the lighting to fit with the more 50's aesthetic and reflect my improved skillset since working on the original project.

I am a lot happier with how this has turned out, as I was always aware of various problems with the original set of renders such as the render quality and the lack of anything behind the counter which I have been able to go back to and rectify while still trying to stay faithful to my original vision.

Modelled in Autodesk Maya, textured with Substance Painter and Photoshop, rendered with Unreal Engine 5.
