This asset is the iconic Tower Bridge Landmark from London. Originally designed by Horace Jones & constructed between 1886 - 1894 it was the largest combined bascule and suspension bridge of its kind.
My task was to re-create this landmark from scratch using google maps and varying photos sourced from the internet for the large community based total conversion project, Fallout : London, I was required to make this asset efficiently including LOD (Level of detail) models & recycling as many base game textures as possible to be less demanding on Bethesda's Creation engine that powers Fallout 4 considering the structures overall size and placement within the Fallout : London world space.
For this asset I used the following process:
- Creation of high & low poly meshes with Blender.
- Texture creation using baking procedures with Substance 3d painter.
- 3ds Max for final game preparation, collision creation & export.
- Bethesda's Creation Kit to successfully implement the asset into the game.
- Bethesda's Fallout 4 for all in-game screenshots.
Once I had this structure implemented successfully into the game it was then placed into the world space and appropriately detailed / destroyed to portray the post apocalyptic atmosphere as originally intended.
