Witch House - Diorama

Hi everyone!
I’m currently working in a new project for my Master Degree in Videogame Art and I wanted to show the evolution of it.

My main idea is a Witch room full of plants, potions, books and of course, a cat. Here are all the references for this diorama and a small blocking made in Maya.


After that, I started the blocking with Unreal and setting up the render cameras and lighting (still working at it).

Hi there @awitadekoko,

This is such a unique project to create. You mentioned plants and potions, so will this witch be an apothecary as well?

Thank you! Yes, It’s the room where the witch practices her craft, so there will be various assets like potions and herbs.

New update!
Lately I’ve been working on two of the main assets in Maya as well as downloading assets from UE and Megascans to fill up a bit the space.







Also I’m currently working on texturing the assets (still figuring out how I want the frame to look like).

Hi there @awitadekoko ! Welcome to posting with us here on the forums!

It’s an absolute delight to see the vision that you have painted. With your detailed references I’m already painting a general idea in my head about some of the possibilities the Witch House can take and I love all of them! Apothecary style rooms are always so gorgeous and the maximalist aesthetic they have really adds to the aesthetic.

So far I’m adoring the texturing on your cabinet and the skill as under lighting I think their unique place in the diorama will be highlighted beautifully. I can’t wait to see what your next update has for us!

Hi again!
This week I’ve been working on different tables and adding textures to the little room. Currently I’m working in lighting and filling up a little more the space (I was tired of seeing everything white :slight_smile: ).










Another weekly update!
This week I’ve been working on modelig some more assets, adding the final walls and floor texture (I didn’t really loved the paper wall) and also adding a little more objects to the scene.
Lighting is still a work in progress, but I kinda like how the moonlight looks like.









Hello there again @awitadekoko !

The Witch House project has gotten quite an update since I’ve last seen it. I’m in awe at the beautiful progress you’ve made so far. The more additions you make help showcase this very beautiful cozy living space. It looks like an environment that would be fantastic to explore in VR!

Keep up the awesome work!

Hi everyone! Another weekly update. I’ve been working on improving the lighting and adding the final assets. Also adding color variation to the repeating elements and adding a couple more plants! See you next week <3
