Demon’s Souls Environment Study - Ben Lepage 2022
“I am a 3D artist passionate about bringing ideas to life through 3D modeling. As a lover of games I have always been drawn to the vast imaginative worlds they create. Whether its my favorite video game, Bloodborne, or my favorite card game, Magic the Gathering, I am always inspired by the beautiful environments and huge creatures! This passion for gaming was a big reason I pursued a career in the 3D arts. So far my career has afforded me the opportunity to hone my craft as a 3D modeler in the game and advertisement industries. Taking in everything I have learned, I can't wait to see where my journey takes me next!”

FEATURED PROJECT:
Demon’s Souls Environment Study
“For this study I recreated the final room before the tutorial boss in the journey to the Nexus portion of Demon's Souls. I chose to do this particular room because when I saw it for the first time during my playthrough of Demon's Souls I was struck with how beautiful It was and it really inspired me to take on a project to push myself as an artist. My primary goal of the project was push my own artistic limits and see what I was capable of. Additionally I used this as an opportunity to really dig in to aspects of a scene such as lighting, rendering, and effects which were newer to me.”
"Using the awesome work From Demon's Souls as inspiration and reference I created all aspects of this environment including Modeling, Texturing, Material and shader work, Lighting, and FX.”
