Project Overview
A highly detailed scenery recreation of the private Konstancin Heliport (EPKH) near Warsaw for Microsoft Flight Simulator. This project served as an R&D milestone to test non-traditional texturing workflows—shifting away from standard Substance 3D Painter baked maps to a dynamic, layered mesh texturing method using multi-layered building geometry for dirt/grime and native vertex coloring.

Technical Details & Key Features
- Mesh Layering & Vertex Coloring Workflow: Designed using multi-layered geometry passes to apply realistic weathering, dirt buildup, and grime directly on the building meshes alongside custom vertex blending, bypassing conventional Substance 3D baking.
- Custom Ground Textures & Micro-Details: High-resolution ground imagery featuring real-world road markings, signage, and realistic pavement surfaces.
- Hand-Placed Custom Vegetation: Manually cultivated garden and foliage placement to capture the well-maintained private estate grounds surrounding the pad.
- Authentic Night Lighting: Immersive, true-to-life night lighting pass highlighting the main pad, hangar doors, and boundary fencing.
- Warsaw Discovery Bushtrip: Includes a custom bushtrip flight taking pilots on a scenic tour around Warsaw’s iconic landmarks.
