Home Contests & Challenges Archives Allegorithmic's 'the THRONE ROOM'

Seat of the Universe

Salutations community,

This is my first challenge and post of any kind on Polycount. I'm coming out of a long 3D/art hiatus, as this competition seems to be calling to me- thanks Allegorithmic! (Not just because I'm a big Game of Thrones fan)


Programs I plan to use -

3ds Max
Sculptris
Zbrush 4
Photoshop CC 2014
Most definitely the Substance Indie Package (Painter/Designer 4)
Engine: Unreal Engine 4

If there's time, a little vid with UE4 Matinee and post in After Effects.


The concept: "Seat of the Universe" is a mixture of Mesoamerican mythology (specifically Aztec/Toltec), ancient alien lore, and the idea of an exterior throne room at the height of a great pyramid. The environment itself may utilize elements of lush vegetation from the Mexican jungles, water canals, and hints of the sacrificial nature of the culture. In addition, and as a little bonus, I may include some Easter eggs to ancient aliens.

My mood board:
