'The Hollow' Level Development post
This is the level I am creating for my final year project at Plymouth College of Art. Its an environment based in fantasy Scotland, artwork within the cave walls will follow Celtic and Pagan ideals, rituals and props to be added in for more variety. This is a 1st person recreation/revamp on the mystic cave level I created last year. I had a lot of feedback stating it would be really great if you could actually explore it yourself. So, all new assets were created, and a new level was born.
(Water is Unreal Engines Water Planes).
Everything else has been modelled by myself using 3DS Max and Zbrush, textured in Substance painter 2 or Photoshop. Various Textures created by myself using Substance Designer. Concept art at the bottom, along with Substance Designer Textures. Project to be updated as I work on the level more.
This has been created in Unreal Engine 4.
