Cabin by the Sea

Environment and lighting study built in Unreal Engine 5, set on a working Norwegian coastline under overcast daylight.
---
The scene combines the Nordic Fishing Hut – Coastal Lakeside Cabin with FreshCan's Nordic Islands Landscape Pack (4×4 km), art-directed to this specific composition, along with a sourced cargo ship and fishing boat to round out the setting. Focus areas: shot composition within the larger landscape, lighting design, and atmosphere.
