Piano Room (a Metaverse Concept Space)
73,193tris (not counting the skyline stuff outside the window) The largest texture maps used are 2k, again, not counting the stuff outside the windows. More than half the textures are 1k or even 512.
Stylistically, I was trying to create a near future "dark mafia aesthetic" vibe and style. I discovered the "dark mafia" stuff while farting around on Pinterest which I do a bit of almost daily. In this space, I'm trying to suggest potential stories that the metaverse space owner could tell themselves. This is why I chose the props I chose ie: The piano itself, the pistol, the wine, and the paintings. What is the story? It would be up to the owner of the space, should their imagination take them in that direction. I wanted to create a space that was evocative in a manner similar to the small words hidden behind the “demon doors” in the Fable games.
All the assets were created by me save for a single Kitbash 3d antenna outside among the high-rises.
Model with no textures. The weapon was inspired by the Taurus Curve pistol although this gun is caseless (for the gun nerds, no breech) and suppressed. The weapon is loaded with 7mm subsonic rounds.
For a metaverse space, the elevator doors would animate. The entry/exit portal would exist inside. The piano room itself is located somewhere between floors 65 and 70.
I considered having the wine and the glass on the floor be shattered with fragments and booze-a-hol all over the floor but I decided against it. Art is never finished, only abandoned, right? Could I have pushed a bit more? Yeah, I guess.... :)
The corps shown are "Pontius", "Theurgic", and further in the back, "Royal Strix."
The spell book perched on the chaise lounge.
Gothic Hooch, vintage 2012. The glyph beneath the name is for Dionysus.
Raziel Phano, 1699 - 1824. His third (of four) volume deals mostly with the control of atomic movement (heat and cold) and molecular reconfiguration and recomposition, or, in other words, alchemy via the use of pure magic.
Francois Duke of Rochefoucauld on the left. Balthasar Gracian y Morales on the right. Some people, things, and events are persistent through multiple parallel worlds.
Hopefully people won't see this as garbage geometry.
