Monsters are still involved...

Hi,

I have not posted anything in this part of the forum in ages. So here is something different. Back in May I made some floorplans for a friend of mine to be used in a roleplaying game. My first thought was to use Photoshop for most of the project but after a bit of testing I found ZBrush offered a much more organic and in the end, a better result. It took a little more time to complete but that was mainly due to the new approach and untested workflow.

The following 8 A4 sized floorplans were all created entirely in ZBrush, including all the various items. Photoshop was used to overlay the grid and for printing.

Just something different from the usual, excellent, monster filled forum postings. Although I am sure Roleplaying games involve monsters of some sort. Well maybe not “The Tax Man” the official roleplaying game endorsed by your local council. Come to think of it that game must be full of monsters…

Thank you for the kind words. It was fun to use ZBrush in this way and it had some benefits not available if I had used Photoshop.

Hey there Filament9, how goes it?

Do you know this text of Jorge Luis Borges :wink:

On Exactitude in Science . . . In that Empire, the Art of Cartography attained such Perfection that the map of a single Province occupied the entirety of a City, and the map of the Empire, the entirety of a Province. In time, those Unconscionable Maps no longer satisfied, and the Cartographers Guilds struck a Map of the Empire whose size was that of the Empire, and which coincided point for point with it. The following Generations, who were not so fond of the Study of Cartography as their Forebears had been, saw that that vast Map was Useless, and not without some Pitilessness was it, that they delivered it up to the Inclemencies of Sun and Winters. In the Deserts of the West, still today, there are Tattered Ruins of that Map, inhabited by Animals and Beggars; in all the Land there is no other Relic of the Disciplines of Geography.

Suarez Miranda,Viajes de varones prudentes, Libro IV,Cap. XLV, Lerida, 1658
