  PROCESS This week, I'm still working on the modeling of the sacred tree and trying to make some changes to the surrounding environment of the tree, because I think a simple forest alone cannot create an eerie atmosphere. I plan to use these oddly-shaped stones to create a passage, which will not only fit the theme but also provide some guidance for the players, as it's very difficult to find the way in the forest. Next, I attached materials to the model - this step took me a long time to figure out. The model couldn't be equipped with materials, and when exporting, only the basic lines were present and no skinning model was generated. I asked a domestic designer who is very skilled at using Blender to solve these problems, and she told me to connect the images and vectors, etc. After importing into UE, I began to place the models, modify the terrain into a mountain shape, add fog effects, and adjust the colors, etc. Because we wanted to incorporate elements such as the de...

 PROCESS Regarding the specific design of the divine tree , I was contemplating in my mind how to transform these words into a three-dimensional model.  First, I clarified the overall shape and structure of the divine tree, which is a sprawling thousand-year-old tree. Therefore, it doesn't have a very obvious upward growth trend from the roots, but rather the branches are intricately intertwined and spiral upwards, with branches of different thicknesses crossing each other. Moreover, I believe that even if the divine tree is so large that its entire appearance cannot be seen, it must have a main trunk. So, I plan to make two parts, the main trunk and the branches, and then place them in a crisscross manner.  In the book, the protagonist group guessed about the divine tree like this: such a large bronze tree, they should regard it as a divine tree symbolizing the mythical tree of Fusang . This divine tree might have originated from the leader of some ethnic minorities in t...

 PROCRSS After building a model of the basic terrain of the forest, I began to carve the sacred tree of the Qinling Mountains in detail. This tree is the focus of this scene, so compared with when I was drawing the 2D concept painting , I conducted more in-depth research. First of all, the description of Qinling Shenshu in the original work of Tomb Raider is that "the shape of the whole bronze pillar is like a big tree growing out of the stone crevices, with branches flourishing and straight into the sky". In the book, the Qinling Divine Tree is described as a large tree with branches growing out of stones. The shape of the whole bronze column is like a large tree growing out of the stone crevices. The branches are flourishing and directly into the sky. Its height and volume are very huge, giving people a strong visual shock, as if it is a channel connecting heaven and earth. There are complex lines and mysterious symbols on the surface. I extracted some keywords: • T...

 PROCESS I started the last part: the modeling of the Qinling Sacred Tree area. This week, I'll first build the forest outside and then carefully carve the part of the bronze tree in the center later. 我开始了最后一个部分：秦岭神树区域的建模。这个星期我先建造外面的森林，后面再仔细刻画中心青铜树的部分。

 PROCESS This week I will continue the construction of the main tomb chamber. When I reviewed the last modeling, I found a very important mistake, that is, the mountain was not entirely empty. I couldn't directly see the altar from the direction of the main gate, so I added walls and the mountain that was inserted. For the altar part, I added more seats and created a more abyss-like atmosphere by adding a fog grid. But no matter how I changed it, it always seemed a bit off. Next week, I will start the modeling of the last forest area and continue to modify the modeling of this main tomb chamber： Stele：Vince (2018) 'Chinese-style sculpture model of a mythical turtle carrying a stone tablet'.
