Hand Painted Sci-Fi Generator Room

Hello there,
I have been working on a diffuse-only sci-fi texture pack for quite some time now.
At some point I decided it would be very good move to make some cool scene to showcase these textures so I started blocking it out.

This is what I have so far.
I'm not really an environment artist and this is pretty much the first real environment that I ever made.
I'm making it in 3DS Max due to lack of familiarity with stuff like UE and Unity.
I'd say that circular nature of the room turned out more obvious than I'd like it to be, and my efforts to hide it weren't succesful so far.

Here's some renders:




I only now noticed that side of main platform doesn't have any smoothing, will fix that.

Viewport screens + older render:






Any comments, feedback etc are welcome!

Hello!
I like how it looks so far, these textures would work well in some kind of platformer!
I suggest you to add some hue variations, now overall diffuse is basically grey, yellow and black

Looks good! I would like to see more going on in the scene though. Maybe add some wires or pipes somewhere?

Blaisoid

Thanks for comments!

I tried to add more color by switching the main wall texture to an orange one.
Does it look better now?

I also added some pipes, although they may be too chrome-like currently.
I tend to make everything overdetailed so this time I was hesitant to add a large amount of props.



Still not sure about the bottom part. I'm kinda tempted to turn it into a Star Wars style bottomless pit. But a CERNesque hi-tech look with wires and pipes could turn out cool as well.

Trying out the glowing shaft idea but I'm not convinced if it's the best approach.
Maybe the blueish windows aren't necessary



Any comments?

Blaisoid

-added some props laying around
-tried out different textures on some of surfaces
-added a grating on the wall and put some pipes behind it
-added more decals



As usual, feedback is welcome.

This looks interesting. I would like to run around in there

This feels very reminiscent of the later stages of Half-Life

Blaisoid

haha, that's not surprising. Half Life was always an inspiration for me with its huge rooms and shafts and glowing science.
In fact I have been a long time member of a mod team that's currently remaking Opposing Force and Blue Shift in Source.
