THRONE ROOM - MOTU inspired throneroom

adam flores

Had the idea of doing a Throne room based off of a mashup of Masters of the universe and thundercats. I know shao khans throne room is in my reference, I think it looked cool enough to draw some elelments from it.


simple blockout


Software being used
MODO
Max
Zbrush
Photoshop
UE4
Substance? (once I figure out how to use it)

after letting it sit for a little while I resized the room because the scale felt wrong and I'm going to try a different style of pillar.

adam flores

started working on the silhouette of the throne trying to give more of a skeletor feel to it.

Now the arch just looks outta place. My solution... Mumm Ra skull!

Skull sounds cool, one suggestion I'd make though is in the last pic the wall on the left seems very close in, kind of claustrophobic. Maybe round it off or expand it a bit?

thanks! I kinda felt that way about the claustrophobic thing. I think you're right about fixing that.

Widened it up a little and added a quick skull to see how it frames the throne.

Started some work on the actual throne

my god man, this is awesome. Thrones def got that Skeletor vibe going on. And I love the huge skull; it has the 80's cartoon styling. Really looking forward to this, brings me back to my Saturday Morning Cartoon days (:

Thanks! That's actually quite encouraging

Skelli-throne is really cool!

Setting it up in UE4 and changed the space a little trying to give it a grander feel.

The ZBrush throne looks pretty cool!! I'm curious to see how it will translate to the engine.

I have a lower version of the throne in UE4. No textures or materials obviously, I'm still trying to decide a color and if I want it to be a bone or metal material or a combination of both.

Thanks! I'm working on it as time allows me, which is the only frustrating part.

Back to doing a little work on it I wanted some lava in here so I built a quick dirty lava material and put it in to see how it would affect some of my lighting, which also needs work, but hey a little at a time.


Also put in some normal maps to break up the flat walls, by no means are they final, I just wanted to see what this looked like with some texture to it.

adam flores

some Rocks and rock pillars for a more mountain feel... since part of it is based in snake mountain

adam flores

and some quick screens of said rocks and pillars in engine

adam flores

The skull the throne rests under needed love


As did the throne... since it's supposed to be the main focus





The UV's on that damn throne were a pain in the ass... still not where I want them but good enough for now

adam flores

Finally got back to doing some work so, I decided to add a sword.

and in game resting upon skeletor's throne

adam flores

Some testing of a post process to see how well it will mix with the style. Also working on textures to see how well this world fits together

adam flores

Some texture work and now trying to get it to look right in the world

adam flores

I'll get used to posting in forums a little more regularly... one day.



I used stock particle for the torches with some slight changes, but I have a very limited knowledge of cascade.
