Weathered Bench
Crafted with a weathered wooden top and robust metallic legs, this bench stands as a relic in our Unreal Engine scene, drawing inspiration from the haunting aesthetics of The Last of Us. The wood’s been through a lot, with scratches carved into every inch. And those metal legs? A bit rusty, but sturdy as ever.

PURPOSE
The scope of this asset goes far beyond the asset itself. It’s actually a piece of a larger, desolated environment that’s still taking shape as I write this. One of the main challenges, and obsessions, was getting the peeled-paint effect to feel genuinely real. A lot of time went into it, and the “secret sauce” wasn’t magic nodes, but reference. A lot of reference. Studying how wood decays, how paint lifts and curls and imagining the slow, natural wear that materials go through over the years.
FOCUS ON PAINT
Clearly, this bench and paint haven’t spoken in years.
