No modeling. Modular environment was created from simple planes and rendered in Unreal Engine 5. All materials were made totally in Substance Designer.

My goal was a deep understanding of the material creation process because I'm new to Substance Designer. Course pushed my skills a lot. I built each material step by step and It turns out my graphs can be nice and clean :) Thanks to the instructor.
The main challenge though was the environment creation. My steps in UE5:
-creating tunable shaders
-displace meshes based on height maps
-lightning the scene
-working with two types of VFX: Niagara system for dust, MediaTexture for steam
-understending of how reflections work
-setting up the sequencer with camera moves and small blinks of light
