Compound Objects

After a couple weeks off from modeling my hands were unsteady at best, so I decided to tone it down a bit this week with a reference to one of my former favorite games, Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, but specifically the Blood Moon expansion which came with the small continent of Solstheim. This is partially because I'm so incredibly excited for Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and was compelled to do something in tribute, and partially because I intend to expand on this scene with something special once we get into editable poly (hopefully we aren't given a specific subject to model once we do).

I tried doing a background, but I'm really inexperienced at landscapes so it would have taken me a "really" long time to do well, and since the focus was on Compound Objects I decided to just find a cool snowy mountain artwork and put that up for the background.

The symbol on the Standing Stone is made using subtraction in proBoolean. The trees are placed using scatter, as well as the snowfall which uses a volume scatter. The landmass was made using terrain.

 

Oh no! The blood moon is rising!
