A few months back, over the summer, I participated in an art contest sponsored by Polycount, my cg forum of choice, and Sketchfab. From their website, "Sketchfab is a web service to publish, share and embed interactive 3D models online in real-time without plugin." The contest was called VG Remix and the theme was to recreate or remix a favorite video game, build it very low poly, use small resolution textures and place it into Sketchfab in order to show off the capabilities of the website. Since the website allows you to move around in 3D space to view a model just like you would in a 3D application, the scene is built or designed like a three-dimensional diorama. I didn't place in the contest, but I enjoyed participating in it and I was flattered to be linked to in a PC Gamer article about the contest. Next time I will try and spend less time modeling and laying out assets and more time on texturing.
If you click the cube icon in the first image above you can see Sketchfab in action and view my entry in the competition. I definitely recommend viewing it in Full Screen. If you would like to see some of the creation process in action you can view it on my Twitch stream here or on my Polycount thread for the competition.
Last but not least, my entry is based off of the game Mirror's Edge by Dice and published by EA. I am a big fan of the art style and direction in the game. The lighting, colors and textures are all really well done. Dice has some world class artists and I am looking forward to checking out the sequel.
