Digsite 51

[Troedel]

Beneath the rubble an ancient staircase was found, leading to a subterran burial site and a shrine of some sort. Leading to an even deeper level a giant stair beneath a strange statue is blocked by a massive door. An archeologist went missing last night, the seals on the door broken. Still it does not budge.

This is the map doodle I whiped up for my new project. The aim is to create a map using 3D graphics, modelling the assets in Blender, texturing in Substance Designer and creating the final setup in Unreal Engine 4. There I want to take HiRes Top down and isometric shots to make this think come to life. I feel that after learning much I can do it and will post my progress. Wish me luck

Should be moved to subterran subforum...

I created a first blockout.

A little update, a few more forms and scale corrections.

God I do so hate people with Talent and Skills and all that other nonsense! Looks really good ! I'll be watching this closely.

Oh, you've done an impressive job on the 3D render!

[Troedel]

Made myself a statue, it´s modeled after an minature of Nyarlathotep. Decided to give this a lovecraftian twist. Great stories. I have a higher poly version but will not go for more detail as the camera will be "far" out in the end. Took me about 2 hours.

Something I will look upon for some time....
started unwrapping and redoing some parts. I will stay very low poly and try to manage surface structure with just normal maps. We will see.

Hey Troedel, already wanted to comment on one of your earlier posts, but the threads are sometimes disappearing too fast: Awesome job on the dungeon, very good layout! The figure is really nice too.
Imo, the colour palette of the dungeon could stay as it is now. Usually they look all dusty and grey... never seen a trippin' rainbow-dungeon before

[Troedel]

That rainbow checker pattern is to check upon the uv unwrapping, a process to flatten out the 3D forms on a flat surface. Like unstitching a piece of clothing. With the pattern projected on the objects one can decide upon the orientation and relative scale of the unwraped objects. I hope not to carry coals to Newcastle
