Updating the Spellbook Diorama

The Spellbook



I started working on the runes for the book. I noticed that the reference I chose has runes shape that are very similar across them, so I created some main model that I can use to create various runes. I also UV mapped the main runes so that it would be easy for me. 

I manly used the Quad draw tool to create symbols using some reference I found on Pinterest, the process was simple, and I UV mapped them all.


I also updated the model with some details

I use these as reference for the symbols on the book






I logged into my sketchfab to upload my spellbook model with the new scene.


I am happy with how the base model looks in sketchfab

This is how the modle looks like in Maya


I went in sketchfab to create some textures for the spells of the model. and some basic textures for the extra parts.


I then uploaded the textures in Sketchfab. originally I was planning to have the runes effect on different colours, but I discarded that idea, and kept them on a pink-purple see trough effect. and the symbols in the book are on black to mimic ink.

This is how the model is presented with the new textures.



I created some simple colored runes from some reference in pinterest.


I imported them all in sketchfab



I updated some the texture for the stand holding the book.

I add some emissive material to make it look like the magic is affecting the metal.


This is the updated model for now


I will have to continue adjusting this model, the next step would be to add interesting details with ZBrush.

I imported the side "rocks" into ZBrush to give them some details.



The scene look much better now

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 ...
