Robot Workshop/Bedroom

After seeing some of the personal work of a concept artist friend's, I bugged him to let me model one of his pieces and picked out this one: 

I really like his art style and I particularly enjoy doing stylized, hand-painted pieces, so think I'm going to have a lot of fun with this one. Here is where I am at with the modelling of it so far:


All comments, advice, questions, critiques welcome!

Excellent model - spot on! Texturing will be a blast with this one - have fun!

I'm having deja vu. Someone else in one of these threads modeled this thing too. I'll try and find it. Can't wait to see where you take it.

I'm excited to see how it comes out! I worked from the same reference, love this piece! 

Here was my take on it....

@joshmtyler Hope you are talking about this one ^ ^

CodyBlack3D

Oh dang, haha. Turned out pretty good, too. Guess the pressure is on :P

joshmtyler

@Aeseeberg04Haha, yep. That's the one.

@codeblack Thanks! I posted the thread more so that you can also use the feedback from there. I got a lot of help, small tweaks and helpful adjustments that you could take into account while you knock out this peace. Can't wait to see it all done!

Looking good!! Everything looks really clean

If I could make one small suggestion it would be to slightly scale up the lamp and the plant.. they seem a little lost amongst the other objects in the scene, and compared with the ones in the concept..

Excited to see more of this!

Update with just diffuse texture on robot:

@Aeseeberg04 I appreciate the thread link, there's some good info in there. It's also always interesting to see other artist's take on a concept. I like that you added the charging station/tech thingy under the bookshelf that the robot is plugged into, I think I went with the concept a little too literally and just kinda have the cords disappearing into the darkness O.o

@PeteJViney Thanks! I scaled up the desk lamp and plant, though you can't see it in the update screenshot...

Update:




As before, would love to hear feedback, particularly on the textures themselves. 

CodyBlack3D

And diffuse textures are done. Going to start playing around with lighting next.

I really like where you're at so far.  Those colors are really spot on.  I'd say they need a bit more depth though.  You could really add in a bunch more darker tones into the pits and cracks on everything to really pop it out more as right now, its all just a tiny bit flat.  I think my favorite part is the robot itself in that regard.  Think you've got great shadows and highlights there.  Everything else could use just a bit more.  Just my two cents.

@Chronicle The previous screenshot I was just working in Maya with the lighting to flat lighting while I worked on the diffuse maps, hopefully my updated render in Marmoset looks less flat? Let me know what you think.
