Hi people can you please give critques and such


just trying out different types of lighting also finished the high poly of the superbike frame

starfrogsplash

some more different lighting types

HAL

1st one and the 2nd one of the second set look good. Cant say whats wrong with the other ones but they look a bit off, maybe too cold or something?

Superbike frame looks clean so far, which one is it going to be? got any ref?

an update to my saving private ryan scene i find the lighting too dark but its always nice to play with different set ups

still got about 3 weeks worth of work left on this i think

its rendered in maya but ive been taking it into UDK which looks alot better

starfrogsplash

ok i just chose to not base my low poly sofa (400 poly) textures entirely on the movie sets
because the movie version just looks like new that theyve just turn up

whereas my version hopefully resembles something thats been worn

btw im going to finish and start importing the rest of the meshes in udk

i had a question about outdoor lighting seeing the wonderful imagerys from elliots, davids's western scene and the other wonderful children of men scene

how do u light an outdoor lightin in udk

i know to enable light mass and select the environment colour to the sky with a dominant directional light

but theres gotta be more to that right?

im need of dire help with this

thank you in advance

starfrogsplash

k that's side A in udk imported

starfrogsplash

finally finished my scene

starfrogsplash

the other side

starfrogsplash

of course like any piece I wishy I did more but that's the path of learning
but this scene has been gone long enough and with not being able to get a job its not been a good time but atleast its done

starfrogsplash

looking over this i think it looks unfinished like theres no street for the buildings to rest then again the scene itself has no street for it for the buildings to rest on so i need to add a path and i think need more rubble

anyone else have any suggestions to improve or should i start a new scene?

starfrogsplash

changed the ground to give some infastructure

rather than a basic ground after the critiques

thats the base done (for the meanwhile)

gotta populate the scene with props and rubble

starfrogsplash

heres an update to my maya proxy scene if anyone is interested

ill probably need to add some wooden beams on the destroyed buildings and that should call it done

so that i can start finishing off uv mapping and texturing props and place everything in udk
