Take a peek at "Just a Peek", a cozy and charming stylized 3D forest scene created by 3D Artist Miriam Frosoni as part of her environment art mentorship with Simone Silvestri. Inspired by the Airborn Showcase, an NPR animation unveiled back in 2022 by Airborn Studios, Miriam's environment stands out with its impressive hand-painted textures, made using Photoshop for the foliage and Substance 3D Painter for the other models.
Additionally, the artist utilized a combination of ZBrush, Maya, Marvelous Designer, SpeedTree, and Unreal Engine 5 to handle the modeling, rendering, and lighting tasks. UE5's Nanite was also used in production, allowing for a higher poly count on certain meshes, like some of the plants, which Miriam wanted to appear thicker and smoother.
