The Rustborn Diorama is a Game-Ready 3D Scene created as as the final assignment for the 3D1 course in DAE, Howest. We first had to choose from four different narratives (Granny's House, Forest Loner, Beach House, or Rustborn). They said Rustborn would be the hardest, so I chose that one as it seemed like fun challenge, which it definitely was for me. I added a whole backstory about a couple that went looking for safe-refugee in the desert when the world got into an atomic war, but the wife died along the way. When the husband found a large rusted robotic hand near the coasts he decided to build a home around it.

Everytime I see that hand I think to myself: Wow, I created that? I LOVED working on it, and it turned out exactly how I wanted it to. Where did the hand come from? Its from one of the mechs that were used in the Atomic war.

One of the requirements of the Diorama was to include a vehicle, so I decided to go with an old rusted motorbike. Ol' Betty if you will.

Everyone needs a cozy place to enjoy a few beers in the hot sun of the desert.
