Necropolis Crypts

The Necropolis was one of the levels I worked on from early layout tests all the way to shipping it.
It was one of the first levels I started working when joining the project and I was happy to be afforded to freedom to research and help create a visual identity that attempted to make use of a lot of information from the real world while still supporting the narrative and gameplay direction.
--------------------------
This gallery focuses on the second part of the level (after the bulldozer crash), specifically on the crypts that the player encounters as they progress through the level.
My responsibilities included early blockouts and helping with the level design iteration, architectural pass, all environment modeling and material creation, material blending, set dressing, decal pass as well as the final pass of polishing and bug fixing/optimizing the area before shipping.
One particular aspect which I enjoyed a lot while building this section of the level was being responsible for all the statues, plaques, plinths and other similar set dressing elementsin addition to the structural parts. All of them are using a mix of scan data combined with zbrush manual sculpting.
I will provide links at the bottom of this description to more detailed breakdowns of the modules as well as individual shots of the various assets I have built for this space.
