The Dragon Sanctum is an environment concept designed for a stylised action adventure game. My goal was to evoke a sense of ancient mystery and grand scale, drawing inspiration from classic JRPG worldbuilding and anime aesthetics.
To achieve this efficiently, I utilised a hybrid 3D-to-2D pipeline. I used Blender (see our guide to the best 3D modelling software) to construct the cavern’s massive multi-tiered architecture ensuring physically accurate perspective, complex bounced lighting and volumetric god rays.
