Durthane's Deep - Dwarf Forge

Alex J Wood
by AlexJWood on 1 Jun 2023 for Rookie Awards 2023

Duthane's Deep was completed for the Environment Art module at Abertay University. I wanted to depict a ruined/abandoned dwarf tunnel with a forge that had been recently setup by a lone smith. As my first 3D environment, I used this project to push my modelling skills as well as delving into lighting and composition.

The Forge

Details

I knew a forge environment would need a large assortment of tools. Placing these throughout the scene allowed for the creation of little story moments such as the papers nailed to the shelves, and the masonry area where the smith has dismantled ruined pillars to build the forge.

Asset Breakdown

Process.

Most meshes began as highpoly sculpts in ZBrush. These were the retopologised and UV unwrapped in Maya, before textured in Substance Painter. A selection of tools were only modelled and textured with no highpoly due to the volume/variety of tools I wanted to create.
