One suchDreamsplayer, known as GENIXTHESAIYAN on reddit, has posted up an impressive model of theNight King from HBO’sGame of Thrones. While the sculpt is noted to be an “early” representation of Genix’s work, it already bears an incredible likeness to the icy antagonist, capturing his glowing blue eyes and frozen visage with aplomb. Sculpting inDreamsis reasonably intuitive, with a vast array of tools at users' disposal, and a fairly simple UI. Creating 3D sculpts of this level of detail, however, can be time-consuming, and certainly requires skill and patience to create.
There are plenty of tutorials out there that can teach users the basics ofDreams, but to create something as complex as the Night King will come down to spending time with the engine and learning its tools. WhileDreams’graphics may look a little dated to some, with one Redditor pointing out the 3D model’s similarities to characters made inOblivion’s character creator, Genix’s Night King certainly shows off the game’s ability to create detailed sculpts. Genix didn’t reveal any particular details with regards to what the model was to be used for, but withDreamsability to make full-fledged games, it’s possible aGame of Thronesfan game is in the works.
It’s always fantastic to see what fans can create when given the appropriate tools, and the accessibility ofDreamsis a great way to introduce game development principles to would-be developers and younger gamers. While PC modding has generally been considered to be the main space for user-generated content,Dreamshas shown that creating complex gamesis not only possible in a console environment, it can potentially be more accessible and intuitive for newer developers.
