Playable Art: How 3D Models Bring Imagination to Life

 I imported a card in Maya and i'm trying to make it as a 3D card,  My goal is to make the Card 3D, with an interactable functionality so that i can Switch Card during the gameplay in Unreal Engine. The card is readable, this shows that my photoshop format is good, now i'm trying to make sure that i can create a simple effective way of maintaining the card and making it playable, then I need to make different cards. This is the base 3D mesh for the cards once i completed the border i tested it on the card art Front Back The UV map This is how it would look in game I imported the model in Unreal Engine 5, and the model is actually small just like a real trading card. I then imported a table model from Sketchfab in unreal engine I then imported the other cards, to test the quality of the artwork, and I applied some textures on the table model.

 I made some spell cards for the game, they have a more simple but straightforward text and effects.

 I quickly made a back for the cards in photoshop. I used some image I found from google of a scroll and I add a filter to make it black, then I downloaded a font from Dafont and named it Soul Casters, and that is the name of my game. I made some variants of the back, this is the grey one I also have a blue one, and overall, I like this version more, it give it a bit of personality. Then I proceeded to make a layout for the board in Photoshop. I created some simple background card for the board, these helps the player understand what card go were during the game. Here are a few different colour tonalities I choose this design because the board doesn't distract too much from the cards, the darker tonalities makes the cards show up more. Here is an example how a card in the board, these are summoned creatures, one in the graveyard, the deck on the deck zone, and a spell on the field face down.

The coffin model need some textures improvement I also imported my stained glass, I need to make more of these. I quickly created some simple walls in maya, so that I can cover the stained glass, and build around my scene in unreal. I need to work on the lighting, for now i'm trying to capture the tone and mood of the scene. I raised up the window and adjusted the lights a bit I add a Chandelier model from Sketchfab to test different type of lights and how they would work in the scene, i don't like how it looks like, the contrast ruins the vampire thematic I was going for. I adjusted the light tonalities, to match th
