Design process(make model)

 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 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'.
