36 - The Mausoleum

Greetings all!

You get a double post today since I was away visiting family on Sunday. :)

Next up is the mausoleum. The player is faced with a strange tomb of unknown origins and technology in this dark underground passage.

This scene will be complex but fun. So far I have most of the major forms blocked in and a lot of details going already. A good deal of the geometry you see here in the WIP came in the blockout but everything needed to be reduced heavily in order to fit the budget. What I am calling the "Device" on the back wall there is very interesting.

To do for this model:

- 2 relief stones (see concept)

- overhead wires

- break symmetry on floor wires

- final cleanup and smoothing

Please enjoy the WIP render.

As always your feedback is welcome.

Thanks very much

Enjoy!

35 - The Graveyard: Finished!

Greetings all!

It's done! The Graveyard was a really fun model to build. I was fortunate that the lead sent me a really detailed blockout that helped to get the major forms flushed in quickly.

Surprisingly the candles were pretty easy to make and looked fantastic, but I had to reduce their poly count for the final. I may take the model I did for their base and "finish" it by making a highpoly sculpt and baking out some maps for it; just because I was proud of how easily I broke down a complex shape into a simple approach. :)

In the scene you can see a door that leads down into a mausoleum. Interestingly enough that mausoleum is my next assignment. Look for a post about that soon.

All in all I had a great time as usual creating these models for ImagineerGames and I look forward to continuing to do so.

As always your feedback is welcome.

Thanks for your support!

Enjoy!

P.S. The small polygons sticking up or hanging off of things are alpha cards for later texturing.
