Floating Lighthouse

3D ModelNoAI

This project was created for a class in which we had a two-week timeframe to hopefully develop something for our portfolios.

I chose to create a floating environment inspired by my fascination with floating islands and sky pirates. This interest partly stems from my love for the movie Treasure Planet and airships in games like Final Fantasy. Given the short timeframe, I thought a lighthouse would be a cool and relatively simple structure to showcase the fantasy skyfaring theme.

I aimed to challenge myself by trying new techniques. This included creating tiling textures and foliage with Substance Designer, as well as sculpting a trimsheet in ZBrush and using that in various areas of the project. Ultimately, it was challenging, but I learned a lot in the process.

While I had a lot of reference, the main insporation for the lighthouse came from this design by Svetlana Lunisove - https://www.artstation.com/artwork/r9YBdJ
