Hey guys! We don't post often, but we just wrapped up on a class project we thought y'all might like, especially if any of you are fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender. I present to you: the Assault on the Fire Nation!
I'm Kenae Lowry from Ringling College of Art & Design, and I did the War Room for this project. The War Room really isn't its own area in the Avatar universe as it just shares a space with the throne room, so I decided to give it its space as an extension of the Fire Palace. This room takes place roughly 20 years after the original show ends. I researched Southeast Asian culture that the Fire Palace is based off of to add extra things to the environment that normally weren't in the Avatar universe, like chairs for example.

BSP blockout shot; where it all began.
Just beginning on textures here. First time using SpeedTree, too; I don't think they turned out half bad.
Blocking in major points of destruction.
Last shot before the intense destruction pass.
Playing around with the final lighting.
Beauty shot numero uno.
Second beauty shot -- just wanted to show off the doors a bit more since they accidentally ended up being a hero asset.

And here is my vertex paintable flag material that I'm pretty proud of
