Verasia - The Seven Sorcerer Town

“The Thayan Wizards were a formidable foe, but its been a peaceful year for Verasia since their defeat. The Clan Leaders however still sleep with one eye open. We have to be ready.” - Townsman.

Verasia is my personal project of mine that tells the tale of a medieval town which is led by sorcerers.
I have used the best of my skills to create every single Modular Asset, Prop, Material and Foliage in the scene.(except for the birds and fog cards). I am very happy how the renders have turned out, especially the Cinematic Video. I have learned so much and I have definitely improved my skills throughout the creation of the entire scene.

You can checkout the Full Project here : ArtStation - Manoj R

My main focus was not only to make the scene good but also optimize it for the best performance. 90% of the assets use Tileable textures with an RGB Mask for Detail.

All the assets also have collision and the ladders are climbable so It is fully ready to have a walkthrough. I intend to Integrate this level into a DnD based PC game I’m creating.

References for this project mainly come from Assassins Creed: Valhalla. I have photo-scanned the leaves and flowers near my house for the foliage but for the grass and water foliage, I have used atlas scans from fab. Materials were mostly created in Substance Designer.

I also want to thank the art communities on discord, my friends and my mom for providing valuable feedback to get this output.

Please checkout the Cinematic video here :

I spent a lot of time making it so, I really hope you like it. :smiley:

Hello @MaNIaC39000 !

This is such a beautiful piece. I love seeing the care taken into the small details of the homes. If I may ask, are the designs on the side of the house representative of the sorcerers that lead Verasia?

@The_M0ss_Man Thank you so much. By the designs, if you mean the sigils, they represent the clans that each house belongs to and if you mean the black dragon, its a dragon sculpture made of obsidian rock held together by magic.

You might get a better idea if you watch the Cinematic Video of Verasia. I have Linked it in this post itself. :smiley:

Hey there @MaNIaC39000,

Hope you’re well and having a wonderful week so far :slight_smile:

I’m absurdly obsessed with this little town. This is exactly what I want villages to feel like in MMO’s. Full of character and built WITH the environment. Absolutely stunning :smiley: All that is missing is an over abundance of flowers. My love of flowers aside, this is a beautiful environment. Thanks for taking the time to share it with us here on the Unreal Engine forums!

Hello again @PresumptivePanda , consistent admirer of my work. :smiley:

Thank you for your kind words and I am well and hope you are too.

I’m a fan of flower fields also. Here I started out populating it with a lot of flowers, but since I wanted to showcase my abilities to acquire a job, I ended up adding the other foliage I created as well.

Please check out the Cinematic Video if you havn’t already, I spent a lot of time making it.

I want to thank you again for liking my work now and before while my work rarely gets any recognition. Adding on top, trying to find a job constantly takes a toll on your mind and what you said truly made my day.

Have a great week! :smiley:

Hello again @MaNIaC39000 !

I was curious about the obsidian dragons mostly! I appreciate you taking the time to explain the clans as well. I did notice after re-watching the video that the clan symbols are spread throughout the environment. The use of their identifying symbols and sometimes matching colors is a really good idea!

@The_M0ss_Man I intend to use these clans as a story element when I implement this project into the DnD PC game I’m creating. Hence, all the setup.
