The Sanctum

The Sanctum is a hub environment within asses.masses at the end of the Highway. From here players can access 4 minigames via portals and as those are completed the environment changes. Gradually the colours and light brighten up, leaves grow on the vines and eventually a ramp will appear to allow players access to the final 5th portal.

This environment uses the sand and the obsidian from the previous Highway section and introduces blue crystal as the inside of the obsidian stone - showing where the stone has broken, worn away but also where new sections have grown in. The main model was completed using geometry nodes to subdivide and deform the basic shape, the vines are another geometry nodes tool and the scattered rocks and bushes were done in engine.
