Designing Sangrama: Bringing villain to life – A note from the artist.
"Making Sangarama from scratch required more than just polygons and textures, infusing personality, menace and carefully crafting every aspect of Sangrama’s design.
Each vertex that I placed and every texture that I carefully mapped all served the purpose of creating this villain, whose encounter will be unforgettable for the players.
As a 3D artist, my canvas is this game world and within its parameters, I sculpt not just a character but an interactive, evocative piece of art that awaits players to unravel its mysteries". - Sudharshan
