Mapping For Games: Altar Room Assignment

So this week my biggest project I need to work on is my Altar Room for Mapping for Games. The assignment is to find images online that are inspiring. Take those and break down the color palette, making sure that they aren't of the same value.

This is the one I chose:


Once we completed that we were given 5 or so altar room models to pick from. After picking the room, we took it into Photoshop and did a paint over using our color scheme. As well as adding elements from our inspirational image. So mine becomes a room based around this magical book and it's butterflies.


The "scribbles" on the wall and pillars are going to be the language of the book...or something close. I want it to seem like the room was created as a kind of seal or something, so there are enchantments on the walls.

Here's the base model I chose:


This is with my added models in the room:


And here's with the wireframe. I'm currently around 2500 tris, with the limit of 5000 including lighting. We are also limited to 3x512 maps, I believe.


Homework for this week is to put on basic color and materials...so I will be showing you the progress on that once I get started!
