Showcase: Fire Dungeon Gate

Creating a sense of scale was crucial. We used a small player reference mannequin during the blockout phase to ensure the gate felt intimidating.

We utilized a hybrid workflow to maximize efficiency. Blender is perfect for fast blocking and establishing large shapes quickly. We then moved to ZBrush for high-fidelity detailing and sculpting organic wear.

The scene was assembled in Unreal Engine 5 to leverage Lumen and Nanite. For texturing, Substance Painter allowed us to generate high-quality textures rapidly, especially when using our custom Simple Diffuse plugin and smart materials to speed up the stylized lookdev.
