This is an ingame asset of the game "The Settlers: Rise Of An Empire", the sixth game of the Settlers series. The building has four stages of expansion. The requirement for this asset was to create a medieval looking building with a slight touch of fantasy elements.

The Storehouse is THE central builing of every level or campaign in the game. It is the player's anchor for maintaining her stock of goods and raw materials.

Design, modelling and texturing were done by me.

I think I've heard of this game series before. The styling of the building is original, and I like how you've got so much detail out of the model, I assume you were on a relatively low poly count?

Hi there, yeah the poly count for a standard building like the Bowmaker [link] was at 8000 polys for the highest stage of expansion. The Storehouse's max. polycount was at 12000 polys, if I remember correctly.

That's low indeed, but then again it is for a RTS game. I'm learning to build houses in 3DS MAX in my university course, so it's nice to see the industry standard.

The buildings here have also been done in 3dsmax. It's nice to hear that you can actually learn stuff like environmental modelling at a univerity. 14 years ago when I started learning 3d studio DOS (now 3dsmax), there was nothing like that available > <... good old pioneer times, lol.

Yeah, it's quite helpful, Ubisoft come to the university regularly for talks and to look for potential employees. However, even though I want to work for a games company, as I want to work as a Concept Artist or Studio Artist I've been told I should perhaps move to a Fine Art course.

Well, what shall I say: Do it. :) In my opinion, every digital artist should be able to draw or at least have visited courses in fine arts, as well as life drawing.
