PBR - Fireplace: Initial ideas

The next project after Gladiator is to create a PBR fireplace hero asset utilizing sculpting and baking in Zbrush.

I have had many ideas for this project since the start and I was very excited to design each design. It turns out it was too ambitious and it become more of a whole scene than an asset.

Initial Sketches

The Ideas I had were an Astrology room, A creepy victorian room with ghosts, Inari Shrine..with ghosts, a Fireplace in the middle of a swamp and a lighthouse themed fireplace.

I end up choosing Lighthouse Theme as my final decision for this project. The concept is to make a fireplace suited to be in the lighthouse with props on the fireplace being objects that can be found using near the sea or a cute collection from the owner of that lighthouse.

Moodboard for Fireplace

I really like the board I made and the concept of it so far. I think it has a lot of potentials I just have to make it right. With a lot of probs, I am a bit worried that it would take up too much texture space but I'll see what I can do.
