Fen Ruins
I created this scene after I saw Florian Zenz striking composition and started blocking it out. With time i felt other inspirations change alot of the architecture and take the scene into a different direction while still utilising the same compositional building blocks.
Florians Original work!

While working with the talented people at Hazelight last year I felt incredibly inspired to up my game and practice some of the things I learned. The main techniques I wanted to practice with the scene where making an exterior scene, Sculpting, creating better assets more effectively and improving my Lighting.
I got a lot of wonderful feedback while working on this from the wonderful people at Dinusty, my talented classmate and some friends (the ones linked down below) that helped me get this far.

Boat Shot
Mace Shot
Video
I created the boat in 3 layers, The Skeleton, The Exterior and some cards for the splinters
I sculpted the boat by hand but gave it additional normals in the shader
The boats texture is controlled by an RGB mask.

Rubble and rock showcase
Rubble Piles I later Remeshed, decimated and baked down
Rubble Wall Sculpts done in 3D Coat
Brick Tileables in this scene are all sculpted by hand
Jared Sobottas post on riverstones specifically inspired me to try this out for myself and I found myself really liking this workflow, will keep using it for future projects!
Some materials used for this project
Sculpted some highpolys based on some images i found of Ivy and then created a Mid-Poly to make my Atlas with.
Timelapse of the Project
Bonus showcase!
The Mace is just under 8K in triangle count and uses a 2K Texture
Thank you if you got this far!
