Forge Design Notes

The forge was created as a large structure that is capable of making huge items. I wanted the mouth of the asset to be bigger than all the other assets to imply that the Forgemaster isn’t limited to small trinkets. The whole exterior of the piece is coated in a Copper smart material as the hammered metal aesthetic fits the rest of the scene neatly.

Inside I used a combination of Steel for the baseplate and Charcoal for the inner cavity. The bulk of the design was inspired by the Stovax Stockton 5 stove, it is a very simple design as the general shape is a cube leading to a fluepipe.

To add some visual flair to the forge I stretched the sides out at the top to give it more overall volume.  I initially wanted to have a fire running in this asset however when I attempted to create this effect I couldn’t get a good enough looking fire to justify its inclusion.
