ABSTRACT
The easiest way to make quest items is to modify a blueprint for an existing item in the game system, adding enchantments and tweaking its appearance until it fits design goals. Drawing inspiration from the tales of the search for the Holy Grail, design and attach appropriate scripts to the Bed of Marvels in the evil sorcerer Clinschor’s Castle, which hurls rocks and crossbow bolts at whoever sleeps on it. Three-dimensional modeling is an extremely complex subject to which many books and online tutorial videos are already devoted, but designers can acquire basic modeling skills to useful ends if they remember the principle of meaningful action as the basis of their design. There are many more sophisticated techniques involving sculpting, using applications such as Mudbox and ZBrush, as well as software such as Substance Painter for procedurally generating textures.
