THRONE ROOM - Throne of Complacent Grandeur - Supposable Lion

Supposable Lion

It took me some time making the concept sketch. I didn't exactly have a theme in mind or anything. I first started with how people might arrive before the throne and then I filled in the space around it, thinking of how I can make the throne more of a focal point.



The sketch gives a good idea of what and where things are placed, but mostly not exactly detailed out for each asset. I like to leave thing a bit open when I model them. My main concern is not finishing on time. I may cut out the two side statues if time is becoming a problem.

I can finally really get going on this project now that I'm back home in Canada with my desktop, I was in California with a laptop with the first post. About three weeks left .. I can make it! I'm going to be cutting out the human side statues, I'm slow with characters and I hadn't finished fleshing out details. Also cutting the side audience seating, it's not really necessary. I'll start with what I know that I want for certain in there.

Current Blockout/Placement:

Current Sculpt Progress:



I'm going to be spending some hours everyday on this the next three weeks, so I'm going to try to post more progress pics throughout without forgetting.

Sculpt of the center statue is finished:


It needs a couple of tweaks, like the back feet rotated into the body and the head bent in more. I'm going to try out Substance Painter for texturing.

I've been having alot of trouble with having Substance Designer 5 function. Everytime I try to start a new substance, it crashes. I've checked that both my CPU and GPU drivers are up to date, and even installed Windows updates and nothing. So, I'm abandoning on using Substance Designer.

A week and a day left. The pressure's on.

I started on the drapery in the back behind the throne. Here's my reference and what I've currently got:



And here's a concept sketch on the throne chair. It's pretty much figured out, just thinking about if I want the cushion part to be classy with buttons or what.

It probably looks confusing, but the sketch on the right is more finalised. The line is the halfway line.

Updates of what the scene's currently looking like in UE4.





It's currently pretty barren. I also don't exactly like my throne currently either, I think I've made it too low poly on account of the sculpted parts are looking rather flat. I do have a couple of modifications in mind, but first I need to fill the scene. Making columns, and looking at water material in the engine today. And then setting up the walls.

How it's currently looking like:


There's some lightmap issues, and some UV seam LOD issues, but it's getting there. Going to change the throne and do some wall textures.

I wasn't able to make the submissions last night. My internet's been kind of not working well lately, but I shouldn't have left it so last minute. I had fun making the assets, and making the scene. I'm going to try to get Substance Designer running on my computer since I still really want to use it.

Here's the final pics:
