Magic Potion

 I want to create a consumable item (or a couple of them). I really like the shape and magic effect of this potion, I wish to create my version of this model.



I think this will help me test my skills with small models and se how many various software's I can incorporate on the projects.

I really like the orange tonality.



I am separating each parts in:

  • Glass 
  • Details (parts surrounding the potion bottle)
  • Liquid (see trough coloured substance, I think I'm going to use an amber orange)
  • Inside mesh (could be anything to make the potion more interesting)
  • Bottle Head 
  • Sticker or label
  • Extra (outside effects)
  • Chains or Strings (could be cool to make the potion a bit secured)


I'll try making a fancy potion and posting it in sketchfab



I started by creating a base shape in Maya for my potion, I used some reference I found in google as guideline for my base mesh.



This is the basic Potion



I picked an orange maple leaf, it design is interesting enough to fit inside my potion.


I created the model starting from a reference.


I made the UV and add some bend to the leaf.


This looks like magical maple syrup



I divided the models in two categories, one for the solid material and one for the opacity such as the liquid and glass.




I revisited the model and I add some details



I want to add some extra details at the bottom of the potion to make it look more protected, so i imported the image of the first potion reference and I used the Quad draw tool to create similar details.


I made sure to UV map as i was modelling the component so that i can have a easy time later when i duplicate it and apply it around the potion.


Then i add some extra edges on the back of the shape to give it a bit of 3D and i positioned the shape on the potion glass.


Then i mirrored the mesh around the Potion model, I also made sure to separate the UV



I made another one for the side


Then I positioned the mesh correctly.


I also adjusted the UV maps of the model



I created a high poly version of the model in Maya


Then I imported the model in Substance Painter and I started working on the textures, I also baked the high poly into the low poly.


I also imported the model in Sketchfab to test the effects


This model could use some extra details improvement, I will use ZBrush

The Art of Alice Madness Returns

The World of Concept Art The Idea My main goal for this Blog chapter is to discover, analyse and explain: Why are the weapons memorable in videogames. How and why they are designed that way, and why that particular style is used. In designing the iconic elements in games, what does the designer have to do, how does the concept artist design the weapon, how do they maintain the core elements, how do they make them iconic, how they create memorable prop designing. Why is that weapon important, the story behind it, the gameplay elements that brings, the distinct artistic design used, the shape, form and elements of concept for a particular weapon. These are the questions and thought I had when reading the concept Art book of Alice Madness Returns . I really Enjoy Dark Fantasy worlds, and this game offers the players a unique takeover of a classic tale. PRE-PRODUCTION The pre-production of Alice: Madness Returns started in mid 2008, inspired by a particular prequel. The  Spicy Horse ...
