3D areas textured

These are the 3D areas I made and then added textures on to them to make them complete. Some of the textures I created myself using Photoshop. This first one is the Marble Zone area I used Marble textures for the the arch collums and the big block. The purple blocks are the sprites from the game but with a added effect to make them more 3D and stand out more the spike, spring and the checkpoint I didn't add anyhing on them because I though they were fine as they were. The lava floor texture  I made in the program using a gradient and some efects and lastly then added my some logo on to the signpost to complete it.

3D area lava

For the first area I was making the Marble Zone I tryed to make a lava flow that could run through the area so I could see what it would look like and to add to the effect of it. I made it but I decided not to keep it because it was to fast and not looping, it would have taken a long time to get it looking how I would want and the whole lava was taking up to much space.

here is the a video of the lava moving

3D areas

For LZ103 my intention was to recreate a 2D level from the Sonic the Hedgehog series into a small 3D area, so I drew up some designs for a 3D area and used 3DS Max to try and model them. I was going to make only one area intially but I perhaps might make more then one for a bit of variety.

The first area is based off the Marble Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 1 I choose this because I didn't want to recreate the first level and I thought it was interesting with the contrasting colours and quite the opposite in theme to the first level. I have modelled in a marble arch  and pillars and the structures for standing on there is also spikes of which there is a abundance of in this level and a checkpoint. The floor would be covered in lava.
