Hey Polycounters.

Sharing my entry for the Sketchfab legion contest. Have been trying to take it to the next level. Would love some feedback on ways to improve!

This is what I submitted for the contest.

model

This is the current state in Maya. Doing a pass on all the textures then I will do another modeling/layout pass. I want to improve the layout and make it a little more natural.

Current tiling textures. I think they are about 70-80% complete.

Little update. Working on the main props in the scene. Improved the lava and its transition to... ice... lava? Playing with the emissive properties.

Worked on my lava textures. Trying to establish the transition to "frozen" lava better. Crystals are starting to form as the lava is cooled.

Modeled a new gem container and started texturing. Light blue up top will be glass. I've been struggling with the transparency inside of Maya lately so no preview of that quite yet.

Revamped the crystal texture mostly. Trying to do something similar to what I saw in WoW. May adjust the colors back to blue/white to make it look more frozen.
