The Solarium
A project inspired by the character of a fellow student. The Solarium is the throne room for the ruler of the domain, known as "The Sovereign". The scene was built in 3Ds MAX, textured in Substance Painter, and compiled in Unreal Engine 4.
Lore
"Oraine is the highest ranked knight under her Queen’s guard and serves as her personal bodyguard and ambassador. She originates from a well-respected family of clerics who, along with the monarchy and their court, worship a feathered dragon deity named Sunjin. Everyone in the court is dressed in gold and black, as that is the colour of both the house and Sunijn."

Oraine, the inspiration for this project
Earliest design of the throne room - I wanted a lot of natural light in the scene with multiple levels
More concept art thumbnails of the throne room and some throne designs. The dragon was a strong motif in the design of the world.
The Solarium - Final Design
I played with the idea of a giant greenhouse design to allow maximum natural lighting.
