So here we go.

This is an initial collage to try and show the direction we'll be going. The main thing that I feel I missed in this image is the scale that we want to go for in terms of number of ships going down. Also, the scale is way off on this image. We will be building our environment in UE3, and I'm pretty pumped about this. Here's hoping, and good luck to everyone else as well.

Let's get started!

Axios

Here's the initial mockup of the space. It's all pretty malleable at this point as we try to get a feel for the area. Also, here's my starting silhouette for the ship itself:



I am going for the industrial scifi cruiser look, but currently I feel that it's just a bit too generic, as opposed to just generic enough. Comments appreciated.

ae.

that concept and block out look ace keep it up!

3DK.P.

Just posting some WIP stuff right now. I'm working on some rubble and debris to put around the scene. Here is a chunk of rubble the wireframe for this is in no way optimized yet, I plan on making a couple of different mounds after I make some smaller and larger variations of rubble.

comments a critiques are always welcome!

Llike you said it needs optimization, you could achieve such an asset with hundreds less triangles. Apart from that, result is good looking.

3DK.P.

Thanks man, the result was what I was going for here, variants soon to follow as soon as I get all my programs installed again... Comp decided to take a crap on my yesterday, had to reformat

Jesse Moody

I dig the concept.

Hey Josh I talked to KP about this but in your initial collage the two ships that are down look really nice, however I'm concerned that in blocking out your scene the ships feel more like blocking walls and will ultimately detract from the sense of depth in your scene. I would suggest simply widening the gap between the downed ships or in the final camera shots getting a higher vantage point.

Axios

Basic pass on the ship; not much to look at for the moment, just working on the larger forms for now. Also, took a break and made a fence:

Hey guys, looking good so far! Best of luck to ya.

Oh, this is James by the way, you can check out my entry here:

Hey everyone, I know it's been a REALLY long time since we've posted anything. Our team has definitely been having some difficulties. Axios and I will be trying to finish this scene before the deadline. Even if we don't make it, I think we will still try and finish up the scene.

So I started to a block out of some sort of industrial type of building but it turned out really boxy and bland looking, so we started looking for references for another building and we found a pretty good one so I've been blocking it out for the past day and here's where I'm at right now. Please any comments would be greatly appreciated.





Axios has been working on the ships, so he may have some cool stuff to show later

3DK.P.

Just a quick brick sculpt. About to bake these on to my modular building pieces after I arrange them all. MOst of the other assets are modeled already. Time to go in and detail! Sleepless nights await!

Axios

Here's the current state of the ship



I know we lost a lot of time and lost a team member from the beginning, but we'll try to see how much we can get done going down the home stretch here.

here's an ao and normal bake of the stairs

viewport render, took me a while to post this, I was toying around with UDK. Lightmass kept crashing whenever I would try and build lighting

3DK.P.

Okay so we've been working a good bit this past week. I've been sort of torn between focusing on this and doing finals for school. But here's what I have:

This here is the tileable brick texture I generated from the sculpted bricks. It's a little low qaulity right now but will be replaced with a higher quality bake later. It will be used on most of the modular assets I have made for the building.


Here's some random pipes that will be going on certain parts of the building.


Here we have some different window variants, broken windows included


And finally I placed all the modular assets and everything.



SO yeah, we're going to keep on trucking. Glad they decided to extent the competition for another week . Working on the damaged area of the building now and should be detailing/texturing by the middle of the week!

'Sup guys can't wait to see what you can put together

STRIKER

dam really nice stuff so far

Zander85

Wow guys looking really good, keep it up

3DK.P.

Just a viewport screen of the modular walls on the first floor.

Kylen

Looking good KP!

3DK.P.

Ahhhh Just doing some more assets, here they are

Finished the ship bake, starting the texture

Is that where your keeping the polycount logo??

Zander85

I like those modular walls how big is the res size for the texture map?

Zander85

how come you decided to model the broken windows instead of just using some alphas?

Axios

Ship texture progress:

Here are our final beauty shots. Everything got rushed towards the end, especially with the changes from our original concept, but we're happy we're done, and I feel pleased with the experience and the result.

3DK.P.

Like Axios said, I'm pleased with the outcome. I've learned a lot and will definitely be ready for next year. I want to wish everyone good luck, I definitely see some REALLY awesome entries this year.

Zander85

great jorb fellas

Kylen

Well done guys, i think your final render is badass!

albino_goldfish

Even rushed it looks pretty good, the only thing I think looks a little odd is the scale, the ship looks a bit small, or the windows really big? you guys all done with it or you gonna keep going with refining it?

WiredKnight

Pretty nice having it all put together, though I do agree with Max that the scale seems a little off...

It'd be nice to see you guys take this a little further, you've got some nice assets (durr hurr) and I think the scene has some real potential.
