Elaborate 3-D Images of Miskatonic University
Monday, August 11, 2008
A sub-forum at Meshbox forums currently features some highly detailed 3-D depictions of H.P. Lovecraft's fictional Miskatonic University. These computer generated views nicely flesh out the New England institution. Amid the wooden halls, ancient tomes, and decorative sketches of monstrous beings, it's easy to visualize the school's esteemed Professors lecturing on the Necronomicon or Mi-Go infested folklore of Vermont. The artist has done a good job with these, fluidly mixing the handsome surroundings expected of a prestigious institution with the eldritch.
Whether one intends to use these CGI models for RPG gaming purposes, or just to breathe in the atmosphere of Miskatonic, they would have to search hard to find other Miskatonic depictions as grippingly detailed as these. Best of all, it appears to be an ongoing project, so new animated additions to the university should be forthcoming. Perhaps the 3-D environment of Miskatonic will also appear in some future Lovecraft based video game. Developers could do much worse than to use these models.
