This is a collaboration project between me and Monika. Our objective was to make a level inspired by a given artist. Our artist was Ai Wei Wei. One thing Monika and I noticed is that he uses light as his main theme for a few of his pieces. So we decided to use that as our main inspiration and apply our own twist to it; replacing his neutral lights for pink,blue and green hues. We used god rays and dark ambience to compliment the contrasting features.

We scaled up two of his pieces we found the most impressive and used them as environment features.

Descending Light(Ai Wei Wei)

This is the main inspiration for the Tunnel we go through.

Chandelier(Ai Wei Wei)

This is the main inspiration for the platform we climb on.

Final Model of my Organic bones model. Rendered in Marmoset Toolbag.

I made some extra adjustments to my design. I added baroque style markings to my bone, as well as limiting the gold tint to limited spaces on the mesh. High Poly normal map detail as created in zbrush. Albedo texture created in Substance painter . Other maps were baked in substance painter.

I created a low poly and high poly version of my mesh to use for baking. The high poly consists of 3m poly to allow for enough details.

For uv-ing. I uv-ed one side of the bone using a planar unwrap mode. Then I could select the rest and uv them using a camera based mode. I then unfolded each section to allow for maximum texture space. I also scaled the uv parts accordingly so that the texture quality will be even across all seams.

The maya creation of my organic bone model. I focused on making a low poly version with correct forms in order to correctly uv and apply a displacement map over my mesh.

Final Concepts for my helmet and bones.

The bones consist of damaged and mutated bones. Both bones together vaguely forms a trumpet.

The helmet is a mixture of two of my previous designs as I liked different aspects from each.

Silhouettes and developed initial designs from them. I used webchemy to create interesting silhouettes. I tried to ggo outside my comfort zone.

The first set of designs are bone shapes.

The second set of designs are helmet shapes.
