Environment Art Guidelines

What to Create

Two (2) different fully textured environment assets

• Create a ow-poly fully textured model of a unique Turret or Inhibitor and a Creep Den
• The Turret or the Inhibitor should show your ability to create hard surface models and textures
• The Creep Den should be a small area that you would find some of the creeps on the map living
  • This should include a rock and a bush or tree (nothing else is required)

Things to keep in mind

• There are no hard limits on polycounts but efficiency is appreciated: use your best judgment and make every polygon count
• Try to keep the texture for each item on its own single 2048 diffuse sheet
• You can recreate a Turret or Inhibitor already in the game or create your own design.

What to deliver

• Beauty shots of the high poly models (high resolution) at angles that will best show the quality of your assets (Optional if you created a high poly model)
• Beauty shots of the low poly models (high resolution) at angles that will best show the quality of your assets
  • Texture with flat lighting on, as found in League of Legends (LoL)
• Composite shots of your assets over the updated Summoner’s Rift map (3/4 view)
  • The goal is to see your art in context to the rest of the environments found in LoL while being mindful of the design requirements of the MOBA genre
• A construction shots (high resolution) which should include the following:
  • Wireframes of the low poly models w/ polycounts
  • Texture Sheets showing a good demonstration of economical UV space
  • Any reference and/or sketches that illustrate your thought process

How Riot will judge

The team at Riot is looking for top-tier low poly hard surface/organic models created with good topology, UVs used with maximum efficiency and stunning hand-painted textures.

Huh, exciting

(A typo with "Create a ow-poly fully textured model" - low not ow poly)

Any guides around on creating this kinda style? Not something I've done before but looks a really fun contest.

"Create a ow-poly fully textured model of a unique Turret or Inhibitor and a Creep Den"
Just to make sure I understand properly - I can make either the Turret or the Inhibitor but I MUST make the Creep Den no matter what?
