Look at the textured in game Jeep interior I made for Jurassic World Evolution. I had 3 weeks from scratch making the high poly to making and baking down to low poly textured and game ready for the interior.

Stefan is doing truly remarkable work helping to archive and share the art that has inspired so many so I really recommend you follow and support the effort and check out all the videos posted so far.
Hiromasa Ogura was very busy with a current production. Nevertheless he was generous enough to let me browse his archive.

I took about a month off from my game to work on this bad boy. It was really fun and gave me a sense of accomplishment that has really fueled my return to my game!
Idk, I feel up to the challenge now.

Super refreshing to get back to basics and program my own interaction system. I was using some assets from the Unreal marketplace before and didn't quite know how it was all being managed. Now at leas I know what's what. I like that.
