Star Wars Alley [Fanart]

A project I decided to create based on an existing concept for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" by ILM.
(Link: https://www.ilm.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/ARTDEPT_VD_TFA_021-1.jpg )
My goal was to work directly towards the shot based on the concept, while making my own interpretation of the details. I utilized a standard PBR workflow and always kept an eye on reusability, especially while texturing. For the larger parts of the scene, I used tileable materials with vertex color and mask blending.
As a personal objective, I tried to deepen my understanding and use of lighting and atmosphere.

I would also like to give credit to some creators whose tutorials I found very helpful:

While working on two different weathers I only took WIP screenshots in one of them for consistency in the video.
