Absolutely amazing!
I love these details, Zbrush is wonderful. But how much face have this?
The game would be too laggy with these VERY high polygon models, no?

Quality stuff! I'm itching to start assembling this. I've had a location in mind for it since you started. And I wouldn't worry too much about the poly count, Senten. Both SG and KP know their stuff very well. If SG can't crunch the poly count then KP can.

sHAdowgAme also knows how to do low-poly. The high poly versions of the stuff that he is making is for baking into a normal map that will be used, along with a regular texture, on the low poly versions of same stuff. He's not going to use the high poly version directly in the game.

Alrighty, can't wait to see this set in-game!

heres another take on the entrance ornament.

Wow! It's so detailed.
Do you have to hand model each of those raised symbols/details by hand, or is there a trick you use? By a "trick", I mean like, you draw the symbols/details by hand on a 2D image, and then somehow apply the 2D image to the model and have the 2D image "extruded" into 3D???

I do all the carvings by hand in most cases, but for the old stone texture over the whole things, I used a greyscale image, and used that as a stamp. I also used this technique for the naga carving. It saves a lot of time.

Here is the low poly version. For some reason, I cannot get the diffuse texture to show up, but you get the idea.

Absolutely fantastic work!

Agreed. :yes: This is delicious!
