The Bone Thrower

The Bone Thrower
Unreal Engine 5.3
2023

I require my students to create environments with specific limitations and guidelines every semester. I wanted to challenge myself to create an environment using the same guidelines I provide my students. My goal was to create an educational tool I could use to demonstrate concepts and techniques in class.

I added the extra challenge of only using free assets available to my students or anyone working within the Unreal Engine. I’m always willing to teach you how to make this environment, and you are always welcome in my classroom.

When making the scene, I wanted to incorporate environmental storytelling and build a strong narrative for the piece. I wanted to create a place that feels like you stumbled upon a ritual in progress, with no sense of when the Bone Thrower might return.
