The 3D Model in the screenshots was modeled while working on Syberia: The World Before as a environment artist.
We wanted a tramway that could go around on rails but also behave like a funicular in the mountains and like a boat on water. With Xavier Tual, the 2D Art Director on Syberia: The World Before, we experimented different shapes until we found the right one.
Another challenge was also to balance the fact that those models were meant to be seen from extremely close with the fact that those models had to be optimized due the engine's limitations.
The machinery on top of the tramway and in front of the automaton driver were made by Guilhem Resseguier.
My missions on Syberia: The World Before:
- Level building
- Modeling of 3D Assets (props and architecture elements)
- Modeling of specific 3D Assets for Puzzles
