August, 2017: Hidden Passageway

[The Gnomon Workshop]

This month's theme is to create the entrance to a hidden passageway. It can be located underground, through a mountainside, or cleverly hidden on a nondescript wall, it's completely up to you. Whichever you choose it has to be undetectable. Remember, this is a hidden passageway after all.

EDIT: Winners Announced!!

The best place to hide a tree... inside a forest!
That was the thought behind my project. Where can I hide my passageway? I chose a very obvious place.

This bookshelf looks suspicious to you? Well, it is!


If you investigate it, you may find the hidden door. But that is only a cupboard that serves as a distraction. The hidden passageway is in the floor.

Here is an invisible passage through the jungle. You can't see it but if you follow the pillars you might end up somewhere...

I've always wanted to find a hidden passage in a dojo, so I made one. Where or where could it be? So many options. Is it behind the scroll? In a floor panel? Behind one of the wooden panels? Under the center piece" Behind the picture frame? Like most things in Japan, the secret lies in sliding something. You can see them in HD on my artstation link.

Just remove the pillar on the right, slide the panel over to the left and presto. A hidden passage.

My favorite entertainment center. I originally had a more traditional entertainment center but I couldn't make it open without moving the furniture around.

Hey there,

This is my entry. I did want to create something modern thus it's a hidden passageway from one room to another. Simple as that

Thank you in advance for any critiques you may provide!

Seems like a normal corner, but sit on the bench with enough weight and you could be taking a back alley shortcut to somewhere royal looking!



Just learning some Substance Designer, thought I'd make some grungy stone, and ended up having this idea with it. Would appreciate any feedback with it!
