Wayfinder Fan Art - Ruins

This is an environment project I started at Artside. The purpose was to work on a modular kit, and how to dress a level art. As a big fan of the work made by the Airship Syndicate team, I decided to work with the Wayfinder art direction that I really love (As you will be able to see throughout my entry).Thanks to Matthieu Laude, Sophie Almecija and Yoan Autin for all their great feedback during the beginning of the project.

After that, I went on to develop the environment even further and transformed it into a personal project. I started by going back over a lot of things: moving from parallax occlusion mapping to Nanite tessellation, changing the color mood, reworking the assets and the kit, etc.

I also decided to build a second room to explore the art direction even further and have a mini playable level.I would like to thank Julian Hoarau for lending me his character. It added another layer of depth to better get that "game" feeling when I walked around my level.

I got some really valuable feedback from Jasmin Habezai-Fekri and Matthieu Laude during the "restart" phase, and this helped me a lot to properly define the overall direction of the project.
Big thanks to Matéo Chilla as well for his feedback, which really helped to improve the immersion and to make the environment feel alive.

I'm really proud of the final look of the scene and I'm looking forward to doing other environments!
