Haunted Mansion Project: The Greenhouse

3D Model

For the past several months, I have been doing research, Finding old HM concept art, discovering long lost lore, and eventually modeling the results to create a new Haunted Mansion dedicated to the Imagineers who brought it to life. Unlike many of the other components of the project, this is not based on an old concept, but is in fact my own addition. This greenhouse, long abandoned, will be the centerpiece of the mansion’s backyard. In it, you can find a variety of flora, from small parasitic buds like the hydnora to larger specimens such as the magnificent corpse flower. The top of the greenhouse is designed to match the conservatory built into MK’s Haunted Mansion.

This is my first attempt at using generative flora in Blender, using the built in IvyGen add-on. I originally wanted to use the BagPie Ivy generator which produced a much more filled result and looked amazing, but the result was a 12 million polygon 3.2GB monstrosity so IvyGen appears to be much better for uploading to sketchfab. Enjoy!
