Reliquae - Temple Entrance

Deep within a forgotten cave, the entrance to the ancient temple looms, colossal and enigmatic. Towering statues and intricate carvings whisper forgotten legends, while the eerie interplay of light and shadow sets a foreboding tone. This piece explores the atmospheric tension of the journey into the unknown.

While renders seem pretty minimalist, a lot of work was involved in the creation of these concepts. The character was created using a 3D scan of a dear friend, using a Revopoint Pop 3 scanner, then generated in Character Creator 4 using Headshot. Additional refining was done using Photoshop, Substance Painter, and Blender. I also 3D scanned various objects for extra details, especially for the statues. Initially thought as a short film, character animation was recorded using a Rokoko Smart Suit Pro with Smart Gloves and a GoPro for facial expression. Motion capture cleaned using iClone & Blender.
