Demon's Souls - Rock Assets

Rock kits

I created many of the rock kits used throughout Demons Souls.

These were authored in zbrush and substance painter and utilized the shared material method created by the BP material team.
Shared material method allowed for these generic rocks to swap tiling materials so that they could be used in every environment
in the game.

The block rock kit was used in almost every world with exception of Valley of Defilement and Dragon God tutorial, for those
sections I created a distinct cave rock kit (see Valley of Defilement Assets).

I also authored the rock shard monoliths seen in Storm King. These assets were created using zbrush and substance painter, also using
the SMM material process. I authored all of the rock assets used in Storm king as well as doing a first pass blockout of the area, Christian de los Santos
was responsible for Storm King final pass.

Block rock kit I made for Demon's Souls. They were sculpted in Zbrush and baked in Substance Painter.
They make use of a texture blend method the material team developed, allowing them to be used in almost every environment in the game.
