"When 8-bit Was King"
( http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=146958 )

My Commodore was king of my world growing up and my desk was its throne room. This scene is a glimpse into my past, to the foundations of what makes me what I am today.

This was all done in MODO, Substance Painter and Unreal Engine 4. Photoshop was used to add the product logos to the screenshots but that's all. Every other pixel is

direct from Unreal Engine 4, in the raw.

Substance Painter is now my tool of choice for texturing meshes in this new PBR world. I hope to never paint another texture flat as long as I live!

Shots (NOTE : higher resolution shots are available, just ask):







A breakdown image of some of the scene components:



And some of the materials, broke out into albedo, normals and masks. These are scaled down for presentation - they are generally 2048 or 4096 in the scene itself:









Thanks, this was fun!

For this project I wanted to try to blend between Halo’s Forerunner architecture and Thor’s Asgard Art style, as well as adding a Zen look to the scene, while I ended up leaning more toward the Asgard and Zen style architecture. The entire scene was made with as many tiling textures as possible as I wanted to expand my skills in that aria.

The majority of the textures within the scene ended up being created in Substance Designer as it allowed me more control over what type of texture I wanted within the scene, which is pretty helpful.

At present I had a slight problem getting high quality screenshots from UE4 as each screenshot taken came out with strange black slashes so I had to take them within a cinematic I created. If higher resolution images are needed let me know.

Here it is, my low-poly throne room!

Every model is less than 1500 tris (with only the cannon and throne itself being more than 1000). All textures are hand painted. I've had great fun doing this and learned a lot, so thanks Polycount and Allegorithmic and good luck everyone.

N_Ubis Future Egypt throne room - Malodomini
http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=147498

My idea for the throne room was to create a futuristic Egyptian throne room for a character I came up with a few years ago called N_Ubis. I imagine this throne as though it was created in a future where the ancient Egyptians had continued on their previous trajectory, becoming the dominant civilization and eventually making their way into space. Their technology would seem godlike and would be devoid of the usual dressings of a spaceship. Of course, they would seem like gods to us, and this concept could play into that fringe belief that aliens created the pyramids. Maybe this weird space throne descended to earth and N_Ubis subjugated the ancient Egyptians, who know? I used theban script for the runes, as I figured if ancient Egyptians had continued developing as a culture, they would have also developed their alphabet further - beyond hieroglyphics anyway. Theban is also used by ceremonial magicians in conjunction with Egyptian hieroglyphs, so I thought it would fit. I also imagined the style of architecture as a combination between Egyptian and modern-day brutalist architecture - the kind you see in cold-war era Russia and 1980s England, as well as my home city of Winnipeg. I feel like the cold, harsh and rigid geometry is properly analogous to that of ancient Egypt.
For the textures, I started by making a stone/concrete graph in Substance Designer, then made it metallic and added some marbling. I thought it would be cool if in the future there were some sort of stone/metal alloy.

For my throne I used the following software:
Maya
Substance Designer
Photoshop
Spacescape (for the skybox)
Marmoset (for test renders)
Rendered in Unreal Engine 4

I did not use any high poly meshes, as the style of architecture made such an endeavor unnecessary, hence my normal maps being just subtle textures.

Textures: (mostly albedo and roughness maps, as my normals are mostly very fine grain and slight scratches, metal maps are all metal - so not very enlightening or exciting, and emissive maps are pretty blank except for a few small symbols).

We also tried to create some background story behind our environment so here it is:

Deus Praetorium.
The magnificent hall which turned into the family vault and the monument of obsession.

The King’s passion in alchemy gradually became a blind obsession. His mind got poisoned by the master idea of philosopher's stone, the only way to get the endless power through the eternity.

The stone creation requires colossal energy. The King comes to the idea that the most pure energy can be extracted at the moment when the living creature crosses the final frontier. Catalyzed by the love to this creature the one can get enough energy for the stone synthesis.

The King disposes to build a magnificent hall, which repeats the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. This hall is meant to be the workbench, the instrument, the extractor. The next step is to find life vessels with enough energy to complete the ritual...

The King makes his choice.

His mother and father are placed into Understanding and Wisdom sephirots. The wife gives her energy to Mercy, the daughter to Splendor and the son to Victory. Severity and Beauty sephirots are fed with the brother and the young niece lives. The grandson represents Foundation and the friend completes Kingdom.

However the extracted energy catalyzed by the brutality of sober-blooded sacrifice does not synthesys the stone but turns the King himself into the philosopher's stone.

The kingdom is left without the King. The legend will live for centuries telling the story of the magnificent Throne Room turned into family vault.

Oh you, young souls of free insight!
Walk in with solemn silence.
Behold the frantic King of nevernight,
The prey of love and violence.

Breath in the vibe of pain and thirst,
Conceive the sorrow story.
Of those who were destroyed and cursed
In order to create one’s glory.

The dream of everlasting paradise,
The path of noble goals.
Became a sober-blooded sacrifice,
Of nine beloved souls.

The poisoned mind in search for reign,
Extracted misery in essence.
He blessed the kin for woe and pain
To get his constant presence.

Oh you, behold the Great Alchemist’s grave!
His kind, his love afore his throne.
The epitaph that none will lave:
“Solve et coagula” in stone.

The story is following:
A fisherman named Thomas lived on an small island. He was the only person in that huge sea area so naturally he felt himself like a king. That´s why he build a throne for him by just using an old rowing boat and a few meters of rope. He used to sit there and look over the sea. Thomas was a simple man that liked to fish and enjoy the nature. One day he left to fishing like he did every morning but he never returned. Since then the throne has been waiting it´s master to return.

Hello guys,

Here is my submission for the challenge. And a challenge it was!

Thread:

http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2238935#post2238935

Software:

• MODO
• Substance
• Unreal 4

Except for the floor and the cubes standing in the middle of everything, the entire room is textured using a single master substance.

Screenshots taken directly from Unreal, with no post work. All grading etc was done in engine.






For the throne, I don't have a highpoly. It was simply a low poly with the master substance applied to it.





Good luck to everyone, and a big thanks to Allegorithmic and Polycount for making this challenge! Was definitely a learning experience
