I love Dark Souls and all of the games in the franchise. I wanted to create an environment inspired by the FromSoftware style of environment building.
I enjoyed putting this environment together. I tried to focus on having compelling atmosphere and lighting with a lot of detail on the floors and walls.
The name Erwald came from a random name generator then I added Hidden Crypt. I love how each location in the souls games have a name so I wanted to give this environment a name.
I used a mix of Quixel Megascans and Marketplace Assets to create this environment.
I learned about a subtle camera sway technique that people use to make these videos feel more immersive so I tried it out. Make sure to play the video with sound.
