Abandoned Water well - Portfolio piece WIP

Jorgex3D

Hi all! Im trying to make a piece for my portfolio and finally decided to post my progress here to force me to finish the piece and receive some nice feedback and help ^^

Im trying to make an little vegetation environment on UE4 with a central piece, a roman water will.

Here is the concept of the water will:


I did the blockout of the structure


Did a fast sculpt of the pillar in Zbrush and texturized (only for test) in substance painter, here is the result:



The texture is just a quick test on substance but i want to know your impressions.

I will build all in UE4 when i finish the main structure.

Thank you all and sorry for my english

Well im still doing this... slowly in my spare time. This is what i got so far:


I need to adjust the proportions a little but im happy atm with the result.

Feedback and critics are welcome ^^

This is looking good until now. Something I noticed in the ref image is that the base has much bigger bricks , not so many as yours. Between the 2 pillars I see almost 3 bricks and you have almost 5 . Not a big deal anyway. Good luck ahead.

Yep i noticed that yesterday ^^ im working on it, also my structure is taller than the reference. 

I think i will have the whole high poly this week i will post screens when the HP is finished.

Looking good. I'm also working on a Roman inspired environment. Having a hard time creating the Corinthian details on top of columns. 

Did you sculpt all those details in Zbrush? Or maybe you created a base mesh first and then sculpted it?

I used a base mesh from max for the leaves, just 2 cubes with turbosmooth then used move brush of Z to get the shape and then get into the details. All the parts are welded with dynamesh. Im bad at sculpting so i need a base mesh for almost everything

Long time since last post, i just came back to the water well and rethinked the idea, i will make a jungle environment for my lost water well.

The HP and LP are done and im texturing at this moment.

I will post my texture work soon.


Also did a simple moss texture in Substance Designer for the texture work in Painter.

Hi all! , im doing some progress. Comments and feedback are welcome ^^

 Here is what i have so far:

-I need to teak the texture a bit and the position of the rope, but heres the water well main structure.

-Some substance designer textures i did for this project: Rope for the water well, tree bark and ground.


And some vegetation. I plan to do some trees, grass and stuff like that for this environment.

And one last thing, im playing with unreal 4 illumination watching some tutorials but my light look a bit "weird" like overexposed even with the intensity low (i see everything correctly but when i wait a few seconds the scene starts to overexpose). If someone can tell me a nice tutorial for exterior illumination in ue4 I will be very grateful.

Thanks!
