Concord || Star Chamber Materials
Rock material created for Star Chambers terrain.
Marble material created for look dev early on, and then used as a base for our emissive lights in the map.
Detail normal we used on the asteroid meshes that Mak Malovic sculpted.
Stone paver for use across the terrain on this map.
Damaged version of the stone pavers. We blended this with the non-damaged version to help age the map, and address tiling issues.
Stone floor that was carved to look like stars/ rings around a planet.
Straw tiler used on our woven mats in the level.
Another straw tiler used on our woven mats in the level.
I worked on all portions of the orange orb, but this interior cross section is on of the coolest.
Here you can see the exterior and interior map breakdowns for the orange orb. These were the foundational maps that we used in our material instances, and that Alan Flores UVd the sphere to.
Very excited to share some of the materials that I worked on for Star Chamber. For crystal material breakdown, go check out my Crystal post.
This map gave me an opportunity to practice my rock, stone, and tile material skills. I worked with Eli Tuttle and Liam Macdonald on the terrain needs, and interpreting some broad stokes in our concepts. I gathered references of types of stone and soil, and cross checked with with our Art Director, Adrian Majkrzak, to hone in on the exact look for the stone and soil. We were also able to leverage the gravel material that I made for Robot Ruins for some of the terrain and decaling on this map.
Another material of note is the work I did on the central orange orb. We went through a number of iterations for what this orb could look like, and we ended up leaning into an early blue sky concept from Liam Macdonald. I then worked in tandem with Adam Alexander and Alan Flores on how they needed our materials built, and then creating full material sets or masks that were then applied to the mesh and tweaked by all of us.
