This project aims to represent life's dilemmas as a game board scene, serving as a metaphor for the challenges and trials of life. I chose to tackle the challenge of creating a lava-themed environment, symbolizing the obstacles and tests encountered in life.
In the production process, I meticulously sculpted all the rock models using ZBrush, giving them a rough, realistic texture. Subsequently, I used Substance Painter to create the detailed materials, focusing on the fiery glow of the lava and the stark contrast of the cool rock. Finally, I utilized Maya for rendering the scene, employing precise lighting and atmosphere to evoke the strong emotions intended by the piece. This production workflow—from sculpting to texturing and rendering—is consistent across most of my projects.
