S.T.A.L.K.E.R. UE4 - Main Menu

A real-time remake of the iconic Main Menu from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow Of Chernobyl for the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. UE4 Remake project (https://www.stalker-ue4.com/).

Because the original main menu is basically just a composite of 2D stills and videos, the 3D components for this scene needed to be created mostly from scratch. The SVD rifle and ammo box are a slightly modified existing models not made by me, and the background Chernobyl power plant is a highly modified and optimized version of components from a map from the original game. The rucksack is also a modified asset from the original game. All other details are created by me specifically for this scene. The 2D buttons have also been recreated using 3ds max, Substance Painter and rendered in Arnold.

The interactive "button apparatus" of the original main menu has been replaced by a "broken" version in order to keep the buttons 2D.

This main menu contains random events for the thunder and the some brief flickering of the PDA screen.

The camp fire, rain and splashes are Niagara systems.
