This week, we would like to highlight this amazing experience by talented Environment Artist, Jesse Olchawa. Explore this vibrant all-day breakfast 70s diner playing rock and roll music!
Pink Lady Diner
Created by Jesse Olchawa.
Pink Lady Diner's concept draws inspiration from the vibrant and nostalgic charm of classic musicals like Grease. Jesse, the creator, was captivated by the exaggerated theatrics of the storytelling, particularly in the iconic 80s diner scene, which played a key role in shaping the project's vision. He aimed to bring the groovy and nostalgic era to life in the present day, overcoming any challenges he faced.
"The most significant challenge I faced was setting up the iconic Wurlitzer 1015 jukebox from the era, known for its recognizable design and beloved by many. My goal was to recreate the complete experience for players, from selecting a tune to hearing the needle head drop. This proved difficult due to challenges in maintaining synchronization among elements like shaders and lighting, as well as avoiding clipping during animation in the engine. However, it was an excellent learning opportunity, as the blueprint involved a variety of integrated elements, such as randomized audio, Boolean checks, synchronized color data, dynamic shaders, and more." stated the artist.
Once players navigate the closing hour of the busy diner, they can find a variety of sweet spilled shakes, groovy old-time tunes, all their favorite retro snacks, and much more scattered throughout the diner. Use the number keys (1, 2, 3) to explore different lighting scenarios centered around earlier and later times of the day.
For this project, all 3D modeling was completed in 3DS Max, high poly sculpts were created in ZBrush, and unique texturing was done using Substance Painter. Tileables and trim sheets were crafted in Substance Designer. Finally, everything was composed in Unreal Engine 5, with additional color grading and post-processing also carried out there.
