WEEK 3 | 3D Story Worlds

I started this rotation from having a couple of ideas. I created 3 sketches of my designs. The main goal was for 3D model to look as simple as it can be, low poly and sweet.

My main inspiration was game “Sky: Children of light” that got beautiful worlds that melt hearts of gamers.

These are my initial sketches:

I chose one of my old narratives that I remember creating, about two twin boys wizards traveling around different countries and cities, finding new friends, fighting villains and finding exiting objects. This led me to the idea to recreate one of the founded sword that they encountered during their rout to another location. It was right under big tree with pink like glowing leaves, resembling clouds or giant candy. Final 3d project is called “Tree of Purpose” – from the plot of my story. Sword resembles the power, only people that have strong purpose in their lives release it from the stone. I wanted everything to look simple, so I mostly created low poly objects.

After drawing sketch and finding colour pallet in “Coolers”, I modelled single tree in the centre with the red sword underneath. 

After some days of modeling (and struggling), I got my final model done:


After listening to teacher’s advice, I decided to redo the work a bit, render it differently for more polish look and change tree trunk. This what I got:
