My biggest contributions for The War Within were the giant gemstone mines found in Isle of Dorn and The Ringing Deeps. This mine is located in Isle of Dorn where I got to use multiple gemstones to decorate the interior walls with. This mine becomes overwhelmed by the Fungarians who spread their spores and mushrooms throughout the entire thing. They grow all over the scaffolding and equipment which added a fun pop of color that complimented the red and orange gems. For this mine I handled all of its design and set dressing. Taking the layout of an old mine, I updated it to have a taller mine shaft area that also drops down into the lower shaft allowing players to explore the mine a lot quicker. I then UV unwrapped, texture blended, and modeled/polished the entirety of the mine. When it was done with its layout, I then went in and added lighting to the entire mine. From there I took the Earthen Prop kit, our gemstone kit, and mushrooms from the Fungarians and decorated the entire interior with all the assets you see shown. The prop team did an amazing job creating a vibrant mining culture to use within this mine. The Dungeon team stepped in as well and created a scaffolding and stair kit for me to use within the mines to help add more storytelling to the scene. With the scaffolding kit, I was able to make a makeshift elevator to help the Earthen get their carts in and out of the mine easier. I had a lot of fun hand laying the mine track inside as well as adding in their lanterns to have a pop of warm light as you progress through the mine.
