Ancient Oasis

I did a breakdown of this project for 80.lv

Had loads of fun making this and I learned an insane amount of new techniques and tricks.
Its based on a fantastic concept piece I found on artstation by Matus Garaj

I also ran the project through Jeremy (Dinusty) Estrellados mentorship program, shoutout to the empire!
Assassins creed origins ended up being a huge source of inspiration and reference for me. I absolutely love how they use light and colors to make the desert landscape come alive.

Fire Effect is from the Unity Particle Pack by Unity Technologies
