Marine Cathedral

This scene is yet again made for a school project, everything was made within 4 weeks, a tough time limit but I achieved some pretty cool results anyway.
The video version of all scenes will be on it's way soon-ish.
The whole cathedral is supposed to recreate the look & feel of being underwater, hence the name 'Marine Cathedral.'

Still render of the Cathedral corridor

I put a lot of work into the stained glass windows & they look pretty good I think

This is one of the colour script/ concept arts used to direct the scene

This was the basic blockout, the pillar looks very complicated but it isn't & so was one of the first detailed assets produced

This was the detailed pass that fleshed out the architecture of the building.

The textures of this scene are very monotone but not without purpose, one of the inspirations for the scene is a basalt church in Iceland that is built such that the church itself becomes a canvas for light.

One of the first lighting passes, with much struggle I got light to pass through the window. The lighting was designed so that it creates the illusion of being underwater, hence the waviness of the floor textures.

Here's what the oculus of the cathedral looks like.
