Introduction

Ta’va – Trials of the sun god is an upcoming puzzle adventure game set in a fictional world resembling South America during the time of the Aztecs. An alpha version of the game has been made over the course of 8 weeks as part of a school project. In this project me and 7 other people were responsible for the art. The game has a stylized art style that resembles the style used in Fortnite.

3D art

In order to create art that fit the theme literature research had to be done. Everyone in the group had a responsibility to do this for every art piece they had created. To create these art pieces 3DS Max, Substance Painter and ZBrush were used. Besides this it was also important to make sure that art pieces made by other group members stayed in a similar style, this required many moments of feedback and discussion as a group.
