“Making of The Gates of Hell ” by Mario Russo



THE CONCEPT

The Gates of Hell was created for the 38th 3Dluvr contest entitled “the gates”, which got 3rd place. I was wondering how many people in the contest would make the gates of hell and how would be the most obvious representation. I remembered the Rodin´s the gates of hell. I wanted to make the gates of hell but not the gates of hell of the hell itself, I wanted one gate sculpted in stone, but still very scary. Something high detailed, like baroque ornaments.

3Dtutorials.sk recommendation:

To maximise the realism of your models and textures we recommend using high quality photo textures from the #1 texture website www.environment-textures.com

One of the first concept I drew the umbral with a lot of serpents



(the serpents has a lot of symbology in mythology and religions), then with confused details of rock and mystic ornaments and finally with a lot of nude human bodies representing their souls trying to move up to the paradise(or get out the hell). Mixing the concepts and re-elaborating some parts, I got the whole gate concept finished.
