Behind The Scenes: Dunfeld Town
Added 2025-05-20 15:00:11 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
Here’s a behind the scenes look at how last week's Dunfeld Town scene came to life—watch it grow from a simple sketch into a vibrant village.
As always, I start with a basic 3D model first to match the map:
And then, I start collecting reference photos:
Look familiar?
Using the 3D render to set up perspective, I then work on basic lighting, and colours.
Details on environment come into play with the fence and pathway
Beginning details on village, stone bridge, and fortified gates
Moving up the hill to finalize the forest
Finishing off painting the keep and surrounding area
Finishing off the mountains in the background!
Finishing touches with lighting, flying birds, and flowers on the path.
The final product:
I hope you enjoyed watching it take shape!
Let me know what you think!

2025-05-21 04:38:44 +0000 UTCIs the 3d model just for composition or is all the digital painting actually done on the 3d model?
