01 · The vision
A MOODY DETECTIVE'S OFFICE. CLASSIC FILM NOIR, IN COLOR.
Started from a simple question: what does film noir look like when you keep the mood but lose the monochrome? Most of the lighting decisions trace back to that.

Detective Office
A personal project practicing real-time lighting in Unreal Engine with Lumen. A moody detective’s office with that classic film-noir feel, but in color.

02 · The process
MOST ASSETS FROM THE MARKETPLACE AND FAB. RESHAPED TO FIT.
Tweaked geometry, reworked materials, and trimmed shader complexity where I could. Partly to match the vision, partly to keep my MacBook from melting.
03 · The finish
REAL TIME LUMEN, COLOR GRADE, GRAIN, EDIT IN RESOLVE.
Everything you see is running in real-time. The only post is minor color grading, film grain, and a video pass in DaVinci Resolve.
