The videos above helped me when making the environment. I wanted this world to have a different colours scheme from the rest of the game. The Lydon Kingdom are the enemies and I wanted to show this through the dark colours and rundown builds.

These are my initial drawing of how I wanted the environment to look. I wanted to integrate the castle into the rocks to make the build look scary and horrible. The layout is going to be fairly simple with a lot of mountains and trees, making the environment mysterious and interesting when the player has to fight the guards.

Screenshots of my process are below. I used Cinema4D to make the environment, I used this software instead of Maya because I want to people my skills in it better.

I used the landscape plane, the brush tool and bump & noise techniques to make the rocks look realistic. I also used a physical sky to give the environment a night time look. Everything in this scene, I made myself.

Final renders are below.

Overall this experiment went very well, I feel more continue creating the Lydon kingdom better in C4D. The colour scheme and textures were exactly what I wanted and I’m glad I was able to achieve that.

TO DO

1. Make final environment for Lydon
2. Make draft environment for space
3. Research how to make first person game in unity
