I’m happy to share my latest personal project created during my 6-week environment art mentorship with Alex Beddows & Skilltree. The scene is inspired by the “Emperors Corridor” in the Czech Republic.

A few images below, and more on Artstation: ArtStation - Explore

I took a lot of the skills learned from previous projects and really focused on bringing them together to create a scene with strong composition and lighting.

I sculpted highpoly assets in ZBrush, used Houdini to displace and generate detailed meshes then create optimized lowpoly assets. I also used Substance Painter for baking and Substance Designer to create several rock and snow materials. I also made two Houdini tools to help create the landscape and generate snow on top of selected objects. Foliage and trees from Unreal Marketplace and Quixel

Hi there @iansmithartist

Hope you’re doing well!

AHH. This got me far too excited. I could picture exploring a survival game and coming across this stairway. Maybe discovering a hidden boss or even a bit of loot. :smile: Truly beautiful work!
