FINAL | WORLDS | 3D | Wall Town | blackspire

Hi all! This is our final piece for the contest

and a flythrough video

Hi all and thank you for the chance to join this contest! We had a lot of fun and we worked hard on this piece. We are happy with the result and we hope you will like it too.

We are posting some infos about the prodution of the piece.

Our scene is built in Unity. The lighting is in real time, unfortunately we didn't have time to bake all the lights!

Our production pipeline was this:
-concepts and turnaround in Photoshop
-modeling in Maya and Zbrush
-texturing in 3d-Coat and Photoshop
-scene building and lighting in Unity

We used both external assets and buil in Unity features and plugins to improve our workflow for the scene building:
-Octave3D, for prefab placement
-Fog volume 3, to achieve our fog effects
-Terrain composer 2, for the desert shot
-Post Processing Stack, for adding some nice camera effects

We created the shots for the video with Cinemachine, and recorded them with Unity Recorder.

Here is the first concept art for the piece

fast concept of the girl with her vehicle

rough of the buildings, I drew over the concept i did, to study how the city could be built. Now I'm going to study the city from above, and the overall setting.
I'll also make some more drawing of the buildings, and I'll start designing some characters.
The 3D blocking of the scene is on the way!

Two more concepts of the city; one from above the alley, the other is a long shot of the ancient machine in which is built our city.

first scene blocking!

Some city details: windows, doors, stairs, sheds, and others

New updates!
First models of some buildings, looking forward to paint the textures and some more details in 3d Coat

Some studies of the "ancient" structure upon which the city is built

Hi all!
We did a texture test for the buildings, in 3D coat, and we quickly tried it into Unity, using just one building repeated, to understand how it will look. Now we are going to define all the elements, and start studying props and characters

Thank you! We are trying to push the production because there are so many things to do, characters, vehicles, and robots!
I've made some character sketches, three version of the girl, and some random villager.

Thank you all! I tried to keep the concepts as clean as possible, but of course sometimes things have to be made quickly.
Today I thumbnailed a little bit, to help us understand how do we want our composition. Sure, we already started out with a composition we liked, but I felt to explore some other possibilities. Our focal point will be for sure the girl on the vehicle, chased either by the big eyed robot or his swarm of minions.

Hi all!
Today I started the early work on the giant robot guardian, while Valerio is working on the models of structures and environment.

Some shape concepts of the guardian

And a first render of the wall tile of the structure, with normals and no color map
