How Does Leon Know that Ashley Should Wait?

Hi everyone! Tonight I’m sharing some of the work from the room that leads to the famous Lava area.

This room was satisfying to update (and a learning experience), as I was able to create some additional depth to the Lava room door and a 3D model for the emblem that appears throughout.

The little platform that Leon rides across the lava was also a small challenge. The original was made from a random portion of the door that you have to open in the garden maze (image here), which is then repeated in a kaleidoscope-like manner. Simply restoring to the original source created an ugly looking pattern. With some UV mapping edits I was happy with the results.

Hope you enjoy!
