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 deep mountains and the ancient trees, the overall color tone is leaning towards blue. The material of the bronze tree will also have an impact on the surrounding environment in terms of color, and since it is in the deep mountains, a foggy effect is needed.

  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 focused on shaping the details of the tomb chamber part. First of all, I added some lamp posts around the coffin. I placed lanterns at fixed intervals, and the primary purpose was to guide the players' line of sight. However, the arrangement of the lamp posts was also investigated. I combined the arrangement of the lamp posts with the 28 constellations: This idea came from watching the TV series " The Lost Tomb :" I thought of " The Lost Cave of Longling ". It is also an excellent TV drama with the theme of tomb raiding. (Because I have always been very interested in Chinese history and metaphysics, apart from "The Lost Tomb", I also like to watch other TV dramas and books of this kind in my daily life.) In this drama, the protagonist, after descending from the tomb, enters a dead end. It is by reasoning about the laws of the 28 constellations that he finds the gateway to life and escapes. I thought that I myself wanted to use th...
