Docking station environment done for Honkai: Star Rail "In Another Life" - Millennium Idol by DillonGoo.
Similar to the previous post,
I was assigned to create a space station environment and was given the freedom to approach it however I felt comfortable with minimal iteration as I designed and modeled the assets simultaneously.
The design of the space station includes a centrifugal force mechanism where it spins, hence the curved floors and walls. The station stops spinning as it becomes infested. I was assigned to come up with the designs and layouts for the escape scene, where the characters hide in a storage room and make their way to the docking station. In this scene, one of the characters is set to throw a flare into a gas canister as they escape. With this in mind, I thought it would make sense to place them in an engine section of the station, where it would make sense to have gas canisters and pipes exposed.
The initial idea for the door in the docking station was for it to open automatically with a keypad code. However, I tried designing the door to include an emergency lever, which we liked, and we decided to use the lever instead to level up the tension in that moment.
The process was relatively quick, as it required little to no texturing work apart from utilizing pre-made materials from previous projects.
