Ico Chamber Room

capone

Trying to recreate the chamber from Ico. I've been studying a lot of footage/concepts and taking shots and now have a good understanding of how it all fits together. I think with todays technology there is a lot of room for redesign, I hope to keep the foundation of the design recognizable whilst taking it further. Also I've noticed a lot of differences from original concept to how it turned out in the game so I'm not too concerned about perfectly replicating measurements etc. It's more about polishing the original principle of the environment.

Original concept,

Early gray box and a pass on some stone tiles.

Door WIP

SaboR1996

What engine you putting this into? and that wood sculpt looks sweet

When I finish with the door I'm going to try it in both Unreal4 and Unity5. I've not used either but hopefully I can decide when looking at this asset in both. The end goal is to have a fly through the level animation.

I support this. Keep it up!

Worked some more on the door. I'm kind of struggling making the decoration work. Looks a bit wonky, might redo it. Zbrush question, anyone know how to deselect all subtools? Whenever I show my zbrush work there is one subtool highlighted (in this case, the steps)

Really nice sculpting! I'm looking forward to see this environment come together.

Subscribed.

I think the high res door is more or less done now unless anyone has any ideas on how to push it further?

I went and tweaked it more. Building low poly next for the bake.

That's a lovely project. Can't wait to see more progress on this.
I really like the sculpts so far. Keep it up!

WIP of diffuse/norm texture for the floor tiles (shown above). What's that trick where you add depth to certain tiles/bricks in normal maps? Adding different tones of grey in the red and green channels? Will play with that later.

Hey,
it looks great so far, great work on that door
Just a suggestion, maybe adding some grass tufts near the stone steps? since they look old and derelict some small vegetation might be possible.

Created Low poly version of the door and baked it out, quick render here in toolbag.It's just over 3K tri right now using a 2048 texture map.

That floor normal looks very good imo (the trick is just color picking some colors from your normal and fill them flat on a brick surface on Very low opacity - its a bit of try and error, so dont overthink this)

The stones on your door look very blobby and soft however and not nearly as good as the material definition of the floor stones, the door itself looks good imo

capone

Thanks! When you say blobby are you talking about the triangles/arch or the door handle boxes?

Suba

Really excited about that project ! It looks good so far. Really nice details

Asura

Im really digging the designs on the door, looking forward to seeing more!
