Free broken walls, stairs, handrails, door knobs, cables, light switch, lamps and other details were created, using various techniques. Mostly I used solid modelling, for other parts I modeled poly by poly and used sub patching.
The ground – which you unfortunately don’t see in the image – was first made low-poly. This model was then refined in Z-Brush and later exported back to Lightwave at a higher sub patch-level. A normal map was also exported since I wanted to keep the poly count reasonable. Main reason for using Z-Brush was for practice. There are other and surly faster ways to create a nice ground, for example with displacement maps or Terra gen.
For the little stones on the ground, 3 types of stones with different materials were created. The distribution on the ground was done with the tool “Point Clone Plus”: A copy of the ground was froze at a high sub patch-level. Random points were selected. These points were copied and pasted in a new layer. After a little jitter, these points served as template in a background layer for “Point Clone Plus”.
This image was created using
a few of the hundreds of textures from the
Total Texture CDs - very comprehensive texture
collections priced with the hobbyist in mind.
