Corner Room Scene Project [Erebor Throne Room] - Connor Sheehan

Conpatshe

Hey guys, 2nd Year at UoH Animation and one of our projects is to recreate a scene from a film or game in a games engine. I will be looking at a scene from The Hobbit for my project.

Here is my Initial moodboard of the Erebor throne room



I have also completed 2 first initial AO Passes,




I know theres some mis allignments in there that will be sorted.

After some initial class feedback, I've chosen to focus less on the pillars far away and focus my efforts on creating a dwarven character as an asset to the scene so here is an initial concept for the dwarf

Shrike

If I understand right (and observate right from all the other corner scene posts)
You got tasked to do a corner szene, and youre doing a room without any near visible wall or corner, and now you decided to focus on the character ? ; )

Conpatshe

Yeah, I had a talk with my lecturer and because I'd like to focus on characters rather than environments he said I could model a character instead. So below is my final concept;

and here is my model so far




A closeup of the midsection with wireframe. In hindsight, I really think I should've modelled the body first before the armour, oops.

Hey guys, a lil update This is how far I am with the throne room guard.

Hey all little update,



Here are my textures for the character and below is the level I have put together with added lighting

Very interesting choice for a scene I think the hard edge-nature of dwarven architecture will lend itself nicely to this. Your blockout looks really good aswell

I finished the scene and then created some lighting concepts for an alternate mooding







I had trouble getting the godrays/dust particles to work so I added mist instead as an eerie substitute!

Heres an updated version of the alternate lighting:
