Verasia - The Seven Sorcerer Town

"The Thayan Wizards were a formidable foe, but its been a peaceful year for Verasia since their defeat. The Clan Leaders however still sleep with one eye open. We have to be ready." - Townsman.

Verasia is a personal project of mine that tells the tale of a medieval town which is led by sorcerers.

Check out the full Project here : ArtStation - Manoj R

I have used the best of my skills to create every single Modular Asset, Prop, Material and Foliage in the scene.(except for the birds and fog cards). I am very happy how the renders have turned out, especially the Cinematic Video. I have learned so much and I have definitely improved my skills throughout the creation of the entire scene.

My main focus was not only to make the scene good but also optimize it for the best performance. 90% of the assets use Tileable textures with an RGB Mask for Detail.

All the assets also have collision and the ladders are climbable so It is fully ready to have a walkthrough. I intend to Integrate this level into a DnD based PC game I'm creating.

References for this project mainly come from Assassins Creed: Valhalla. I have photo-scanned the leaves and flowers near my house for the foliage but for the grass and water foliage, I have used atlas scans from fab. Materials were mostly created in Substance Designer.

I also want to thank the art communities on discord, my friends and my mom for providing valuable feedback to get this output.

Please also check out the Cinematic Video I made : Verasia - The Seven Sorcerer Town (Cinematic Video) - YouTube

I really hope you like it.

It's nice to be able to get explanations on modelling approaches,

Another little tidbit of forum etiquette that members appreciate… it’s usually best to minimize the amount of text in a quote, just to reduce the amount of scrolling involved (especially on mobile omg) and to increase the signal-to-noise ratio.

I wish we could improve the forum software to do this automatically, but that’s a bit out of our hands atm.

Re: Soviet metro escalator scene for game

Finally, some light and textures work for our corridors. The lighting makes is more interesting, but nok we can see that the geometry is dull and it need more props and decals. Also advertisement of stump just for test here)
I planning to spend some time on gameplay and later give fresh update to geopmetry and corridors art.

Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?

That article is shit.

Virtuos is one of the largest outsource/co-dev providers on the planet. Their entire business model is to work on a thing and then stop working on the thing when their contract ends

If it's the case that Virtuos are laying off staff because there's no contract to move them on to that has nothing to do with the publisher of Oblivion

Re: AI Art, Good or Bad? A (hopefully) nuanced take on the subject.

My brother is heavily into talking with various LLMs... Gemini, CoPilot, ChatGPT, etc. mostly about physics topics, but also asking any old questions that pop into his head.

I listened in while he chatted with Gemini, and it always sounds cheery, gives short answers, and always prompts him to ask more. It's pretty creepy actually. But he loves not having to type anything, and he feels like he has the whole internet opening up to him. Which it's pretty clearly not.

It's obvious to me how they want users to get hooked and keep using their services. It just seems so inferior to actually doing careful directed research, and reading human-authored work. But... it's fast, and it's sycophantic, ugh.
