3D Games Production (week twenty)

This week I wanted to start drafting up ideas for my fireplace.

In my original concept, I wanted to include a tree trunk, I believed this would give it a good aesthetic, but after looking at my reference (mainly from world of warcraft and other stylised sources, this would not have worked out.

Furthermore, given I had not taken into account the different materials/maps I would be using, I ended up discarding this idea.

However, my second idea that I made in max was a much more fleshed out design, thinking of materials this time, especially metal, for the grills, stone for the diorama base and main fireplace body, wood for the planks and braces, then finally wax for the candles.

This gives me a good range of materials to work with and I would like to take this model further.
