Castle Ravenloft Starting Tile

This is a 3D interpretation of the starting tile for the board game Dungeons & Dragons: Castle Ravenloft, a dungeon crawler where the hero party enters a castle inhabited by a vampire called Count Strahd von Zarovich. I made the asset with Tabletop Simulator (Unity) as a target game engine in mind, the rendering here was done using Blender Cycles though.

The “skulls” are an indicator for the game where monsters can spawn. I lazily used Suzanne from Blender for this, also it adds a nice easter egg. 😁

The model itself has 3.836 triangles in its low-poly version, most of the poly budget went into the torches and the Suzanne heads. I also created a simple high-poly variant with some nice bevels for baking in Substance Painter.
