    The Silent Corridor

    Hi Everyone, This is my first personal project, I have been working on it in my free time, I wanted to create something small and spend my time adding details, This was my first time texturing, Lighting, and Modeling the entire scene, it’s an abandoned corridor inspired by soviet inspired photographs. all the models and textures were made from scratch, and I have learned a lot on this project, There are still a few things that I learned later, and I wish to improve upon them in future projects, I had a lot of help from the incredible people from discord communities like - The DiNusty Empire, CG Lounge, Autodesk 3ds Max, and CGHero, (thank you all for helping me).
    Hope you like it.
