WIP - Environment for Melina x Maiden (Patreon)

Hey everyone, covid hasn't totally kicked my ass. Still working away and got most of the environment setup. I really wanted to capture something similar to The Nexus from Demon Souls but since there's not really any assets I could find  of it I decided to go with some sort of gothic ruin that would fit a similar tone. I scoured the internet for a while trying to find some decent assets that weren't crazy expensive. Eventually I found this Unreal Engine asset pack and decided to port it over to blender. There's no 1:1 process because completely different engines but for the most part the meshes and textures turned out fine. Had to do a fair bit of optimizing on the material side of things because otherwise it would just crash. Got all that worked out tho, and setup the lighting,  which since I couldn't get the actual look of the nexus I just decided to at the very least use the color scheme it has. Overall super happy with how this has turned out, now the hard work of animating it begins.
