MA Game Art Personal Project

The world of the Guardian is one of magic… a world of gods, primordial entities and titans, a place where ethereal energy flows through a pristine landscape. All manner of creatures reside in this realm, from small critters and thoughtless wisps to behemoths the size of mountains. The landscape is prone to celestial events and natural disasters, from aligning worlds and dimensions to cosmic collisions and paradoxical rifts in time and space.

this project served as an advanced shading techniques exploration, pertaining to flow map studies, parallax occlusion mapping (POM) and world align textures.

The clouds and northern lights are the result of combing POM with Flow maps
