I work primarily in Unreal Engine 5 and Blender, using volumetric lighting and custom procedural shaders to achieve that specific gritty, textured look. If you have an abstract idea for a game asset, music release, or a short film sequence, I can take your concept and render it with this same cinematic atmosphere. ### Exploring Dark Aesthetics This collection houses the projects that don't fit into a single category. Whether it is the existential dread of the *VOID* pieces or the 80s-inspired surrealism of *StereoVoid*, this gallery is about pushing boundaries with 3D horror art. #### My Technical Approach * **Software:** Everything is built using a pipeline of Blender for modeling, Unreal Engine 5 for real-time lighting, and Photoshop for the final post-processing and film grain finish. * **Lighting:** My focus is always on dramatic, volumetric light—think neon glows, heavy fog, and god-rays—to isolate subjects and build tension. * **Environment:** I don't just place objects in a scene. I focus on world-building, creating the background assets that make a creature feel like it exists in a real, haunted space. #### Why Work with Me? I do not offer generic 3D modeling. I specialize in specific styles: psychological, supernatural, and cosmic horror. If you need 3D visual art that looks like it stepped out of a nightmare, we are on the same page. My work is production-ready for album covers, digital displays, and short-form video content. If you have a concept that feels too weird or too dark for a standard agency, bring it to me. Let's make it real. ## About Tanmay Lodhi I am Tanmay, a 3D artist based in Mumbai, obsessed with everything that hides in the dark.
