Abandoned Pickup Truck
A rusty, abandoned pickup truck designed as a narrative prop for real-time environments.
The vehicle was modeled in Maya, sculpted in ZBrush to add damage and organic deformations (especially to the hood and doors), and textured in Substance Painter using a PBR workflow.
Lighting and rendering were done in Unreal Engine 5 with a cinematic approach.
This asset was built with optimization in mind, suitable for use in real-time scenes such as horror, post-apocalyptic, or rural storytelling.
Skills Showcased:
⇢ Low-poly modeling (Maya)
⇢ UV unwrapping and layout
⇢ Sculpting dents and deformation (ZBrush)
⇢ Texturing with multiple material layers (Substance Painter)
⇢ Lighting and rendering (Unreal Engine 5)
⇢ Wireframe and UV presentation
⇢ Fast learning and adaptability across different tools
Final Render – Unreal Engine 5
Game-ready render of the abandoned pickup truck using a neutral light rig inside UE5. Materials emphasize aging, oxidation, and dirt buildup.
Alternate Final Render – UE5
Front quarter view highlighting sculpted damage and fine wear details.
In-engine render (UE5).
The truck is placed in a moody, overgrown environment to enhance its narrative value and sense of abandonment.
Wireframe View
Clean topology optimized for real-time engines. Model created in Maya
UV Layout
UVs unwrapped in Maya – distribution optimized to reduce distortion and maximize texel density.
