Beauclair Palace - Exterior UE5

Exterior view of the Beauclair Palace from "The Witcher 3" (fanart).
I created this project almost a year ago now. It was made as a backdrop for the Swedish Cosplay Championship 2022 (SM), and was the first shot out of two. You can check out the other shot here (interior):

This was created in collaboration with my fellow student Sandra Kallaanvara, who focused on the foreground whiles I mainly worked on the palace. Check her out here:

I tried my best to keep things simple since the palace is quite large and time was very limited, so kept the modeling very lowpoly and sticked to simple shapes. Focusing on getting the silhouette and overall resemplance right.
Enjoy!

Used a 3D scan of the game environment as a guide to trace after. This enabled us to have accurate placement and scale, aswell as keeping the silhuett of the palace.
