York Maze in Fortnite

I developed a workflow and Unreal Engine for Fortnite (UEFN) project for James Afshar Dodson at Pop Up VR. The project is a promotional virtual version of the York Maze that can be played on Fortnite Creative by anyone.

York Maze Workflow

The main challenge of this project was developing an easy, repeatable workflow for annually updating the virtual maze to match its real-world counterpart. I outlined the best methods I found for converting York Maze's initial 2D line art image into a 3D corn maze using Photoshop and Blender. This works by using Blender's Displace modifier to convert the image to a mesh, then using the mesh as a volume for Unreal Engine's foliage tool to populate cornstalks.
