This one was a private request from one of the servers I work for. This map didn't have real time references, or it was done by the reference of a game or something. This guy told me by words the idea he had in mind "a blue sky temple with flowers". This server is well identified by the blue color (in their sites, npcs, everywhere) So, to add blue tones as a base in all the decoration was a must. The image of reference shows an example of an "ornamental design" which was the primary idea to take as a reference with floor tiles. Although the temple/sanctuary style was something Importan I had t mix with the ornamental style aswell. About this mapSo, what do we have new on this map? Sanctuary of Blossom is, a medium size map which it aims to be an open place. The original sketch provided by the customer was exact by asking for "open and flat plazas in the map", so multilevels/complex pathways were not a priority in this map. Rather, it was the decoration and the panoramics the priorities here, since my customer asked for a beautiful place. The structure of this map is really simple: Only 4 Plazas: North, center, south and east, connected by bridges and all of the areas are flat and open, that was how my customer wanted it. It has also two "apart" small areas in 2 corners. Now talkking about new features, (The part that most of people waits ) this map has one. By the support of animated models (something I already did a tutorial for whoever wants to learn), this map shows animated floating trees. This, brings the enhancement of sky maps to another level. Since animation can only be appreciated in movement, I truly suggest you to watch the video to look how the animated floating trees works. On another hand, this map has a high ornament decoration, even by adding stained glass windows with ornament style. Even in the tiles of the map, the ornament style is present. Video! ... Watch it in 720p! Credits of the BGM to @Snow who composed the Soundtrack used in this Map. HD Screenshots Color Palettes Sponsored by @KamiShi Drooping Olrox Hat Sponsored by @Adel Screens are in Full 1920x1080 HD resolution. You can allways hit the image thumbnaill to check the images on full size, and check some details that can only be appreciated in HD resolution.Overview 1 Awesome screenshot comes at first!Overview 2 This view shows the north garden, it is good.Overview 3 This one is supposed to show the stained glass structures that are present in all around the platforms.Overview 4 I just liked this view.Area View 1 This area shows one of the temples. We have 2, they are just the same in east and west.Area View 2 Shows more detail in the garden. There are, in fact a quite high amount of different flower styles in this area... a lot!Area View 3 The same area but with a closer view.Area View 4 The platforms that are in apart corners of the map. They are like novice starter areas, or welcome areas of the server. That is all . Again, I think the innovate part comes with the tree floating movement, that is awesome to see it in game, so, please, watch the video to have a better idea about it. Thank you everyone for all your suggestions. I found this map enough good to be in a showcase, so here you have it cheers and have a nice day! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather say working hours: probably 20 ~ 24 hours of work, distributed in weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
