Design process（make model）

 

PROCESS

This week I started to build a model of the main tomb chamber. First, I drew a sketch to organize my thoughts:

I originally intended to directly continue the feeling of the tomb chamber passage, but after carefully reading the original work and the TV series, I finally decided to remove the exterior wall to create a sense that the throne was lifted by a mountain and everything around was plunged into darkness. If one was not careful when walking up the stairs, they would fall into a bottomless abyss.


After deciding on the approximate location, I first built a model of the infrastructure (except for the mountain) on SU:


Then render and supplement the appearance in UE:






Next week, I will focus on shaping the overall atmosphere, paying attention to the aspects of lighting and fog effects.

  PROCESS This week, I first enriched the modeling details: Because I have been looking at this scene all the time and feel a bit tired of it, I don't know how to better highlight the dark and damp atmosphere. So I asked my director friend. She told me, "From a photography perspective, I will pay more attention to the foreground. I will look at the whole from the foreground and construct a shot with the front being real and the back being virtual." I made some adjustments after listening to her suggestions. Then I adjusted the overall tone again, and finally presented such a picture:

 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...

  PROCESS This week, I started modeling the interior of the Queen Mother of the West Palace. At that time, when I was drawing the concept drawing, I only focused on the position of the Queen Mother of the West's throne . I thought the research was not clear enough, and the passage before entering the main tomb chamber was not added either. So before starting the modeling, I watched the depiction of the entire tomb passage in the TV drama again and sorted out the entire relationship. 这周我开始进行西王母宫殿内部的建模，当时画概念画只关注了西王母王座的位置，我认为调研的不够明确，而且进入主墓室之前的通道也没有加上，所以在开始建模之前，我又去看了一遍影视剧对整个墓道的刻画，并梳理了整个关系。 I'll describe it again in words. I've sorted out all the processes of this entire area, from the very beginning of the Devil's City , which is the desert, to entering the water pool area after passing through the sunken ship . Based on the murals on the ruins beside the water pool area as a clue, the main characters fell underwater, passed through the underground passage, found a hole, ...
