Obelus follows the story of a scrapy robot named Arlo on his journey to retrieve a power core from The Spire which is protected by our robot villain V3XA.
Because the Spire is an enormous tower the design was broken down into pieces. The separate floors, rings, and other repeated assets were modeled in Autodesk Maya and brought into Houdini for assembly.
For the Spire one of the most important things was lighting and how it would affect the center piece of the environment which is the power core tower in the center. We did a lot of light testing with both color and temperature to pinpoint the right mood inside of the Spire.
