This piece was made for the Search For A Star 2018 competition (Grad in games). I was one of the environment art finalist.

This is a factory with a blast furnace as centrepiece. When I started looking for ideas for the second round I was going more to sci-fi hangar/workstation. After a while I found some more interesting reference of an old and abandoned factory. There was a picture of a furnace that gives me the motivation to make it. So I started gathering more reference about that furnace.
I like the details of the furnace and the amount of cables and the “complexity”. In the end I made a combination of the different type of furnaces.
