HI . I'm new on this forum . First i'll say that i'm not native english speaker ,born in Poland :P (another slavic dude on this world).

Now i'm working on my environment using UDK (earlier UT3) ,Maya ,Photoshop and zBrush.

Fantastic work. I absolutely love that style you have going out there.

Only one thing bothers me; some of the screenshots seem slightly confusing and hard to look at. It can be due to the amount of small details, but it's hard to tell since you have no AA whatsoever.

Try to take screenshots at higher resolution (I'm pretty sure there was a way to do that) and size them down to get semi-AA effect. That will make your work much more appealing.

edit:
Video looks much cleaner than your shots. Though I would love to see some high-res shots

Asteric · Jan 2010

I agree from what has been said, the screen shots look great, but are a little hard on the eyes right now.

Off topic- Nice to see another from the Toon teaandcigarettes, gerodie?

DarthNater · Jan 2010

Looks like something out of Fallout 3! I love it! It is a little busy at the moment but it is great work!

griffinax · Jan 2010

Swell!
Love the details, a bit chaotic, but love it!

hydzior · Jan 2010

Screenshots updated with better res and AA ;] .

Lee3dee · Jan 2010

looks awesome! did you make all the assets modular?

acapulco · Jan 2010

What, with AA? How did you do that? I thought there was no AA in unrealengine. Neox is always looking for a way to do it.
Looks btw really nice! Like it!

uneditablepoly · Jan 2010

Looks great but like others said, there's a lot going on and sometimes it's hard to look at.

hydzior · Jan 2010

Juse rescaled the screenshots to a smaller res :] . But for that i was needing to plug external monitor .

Lee3dee yes they're ,except terrain meshes .

teaandcigarettes · Jan 2010

Glad you up-resed them; looks a lot better

It is somewhat chaotic, but I think that's actually a good thing in this case; your scene has that organic feel to it.

You might want to play a little bit with Bloom and contrast settings (never used UE too much, but I believe you should be able to adjust those); some areas (especially 6th screenshot) seem a little bit washed out.

Great work overall.

serialkiler · Jan 2010

Great work keep it up

Sirdelita · Jan 2010

This is pretty crazy awesome. But yeah it's very busy. It has that same issue I feel ut3 maps have. A cluster fuck of awesome. I totally love and feel dizzy from this chaos

Keep up the awesome work!

LoTekK · Jan 2010

Holy shit, this is mad. Hella busy, but really impressive. I'm getting an empire boy vibe from a couple of the shots; any inspiration drawn from his work?

hydzior · Jan 2010

Empire boy ? Dont know :] Seriously . I've watched many artworks from many artists and really my had is a one big garbage. Can you link me some of his work ??

Clockwork · Jan 2010

Damn, crazy nice work, man. Fucking awesome!

Talk about your one-man army right here.

mLink · Jan 2010

This is really impressive. Very busy, but there's plenty of interesting parts to look at. It looks like it would be fun to run around in and shoot some guns. Great feel and style to it.

cman2k · Jan 2010

Great work man.

"Evolution had an aneurysm" seems oddly appropriate, haha.

tinokun · Jan 2010

Very cool work you have going on here.

Clockwork · Jan 2010

hydzior, anywhere we can see some more of your work, maybe a portfolio?

hydzior · Jan 2010

Not really :] Its all i've got now xD . Earlier i was working in TTGames doing lego games . There's nothing good to show and the old portfolio just sucks :] . Thats why i'm doing this scene and planning another one .

LoTekK · Jan 2010

It's been pretty difficult to find his stuff in the last couple years for some reason, but I had some lying around:

hydzior · Jan 2010

Nice stuff !! Now i'm inspired by his work

.

Holi · Jan 2010

I love this!
Is there any chances to have a walk on it? Will you share it for unreal 3 players?

JasonLavoie · Jan 2010

Wow.... just... wow!

ShadowFox · Jan 2010

This is amazing :O such inspiring stuff! the initial parts of it remind me of that junktown at the beginning of fallout 3. The rest has got such a nice atmospheric look to it!

Electro · Jan 2010

..and only 55% done, awesome! Keep going!

ShadowFox · Jan 2010

May i ask how long youve worked on this? as I am getting unbelievably inspired by this work that it makes me want to put something together in UDK. you have now gained me as a stalker :P

adam · Jan 2010

Hmm.. neat. It feels like it was made in Unreal tech. And if that tells you anything then great, because I don't know if I can articulate it properly. It feels a little bloomy, there's coloured lights everywhere, and its overall noisy. The colour palette of the structures aren't very inspired but the architecture as a whole, is.

Cool stuff, I just wish it didn't feel as though I've seen it before $:\$

DrunkShaman · Jan 2010

Wow....awsome work, Is that going to be a third person, or first person...Just asking.
The volume of the background music is however, a bit too loud. There is too much blurr around the lights, but than again I am still kinda new to CG and I wouldnt know better then Adam here.

Over all Nice work, Thanks for sharing.
Also please do post the updates when your work is finished..

Ben Apuna · Jan 2010

I like your scene, it's a bit surreal.

The scene seems a little too brown everywhere, makes it a kind of hard to tell what's what at first glance. You've got that aspect of "next gen" covered.

I look forward to seeing more, keep it up

hydzior · Jan 2010

Yes it's to brown but i'll try to push a little more colors to it ;]
Next big update wil be in february i think. Or maybe earlier :] .

rollin · Jan 2010

fantastic.. me likes the business all around.. gives the scene a lot of character

roosterMAP · Jan 2010

wow, i dont think ive ever seen such a detailed scene! I think theres a bit too much bloom tho.

rebel · Jan 2010

I really like this, I want to get in there and explore!

warby · Jan 2010

looks great

hydzior · Jan 2010

Screenshots updated . Now without HUD and in better res + two new ones .

efren_chavez · Jan 2010

Hello.
The amount of detail in your environment is really good. I like the combination of hi-tech and nature overcoming it.
I think you successfully communicate the idea of a futuristic shanty town.

I suppose you are already working on this, but it would be nice to see something inside the buildings, right now they are pretty empty.
The foliage is quite believable. Maybe you could add more of it around the level.
I think you have way too much neon light going on.Why don't you try to eliminate the self-illumination/ glow in the ventilation shafts/fans?
Also try to space out your red and green neon lights a bit more, and maybe mute some of them down.

The concept behind this project is appealing, if those little bunny droids are the main inhabitants of this environment try to place some props that are suited for beings of their size.

Willburforce · Jan 2010

not so hard to look at!!!

Fantastic... this is amazing an inspiring!

I think this looks BETTER than fallout

Lob · Jan 2010

B R A V O...

Tom Ellis · Jan 2010

I envy your motivation and persistence to build a scene looking like that!

Reminds me of TekkonKinkreet, really great work!

ivanushka · Jan 2010

Wow, great work! The colors and details read very well and remind me of graphics that could easily fit into the Gears of War/Unreal Tournament universe.

Yeah saw that anime . Was really great and like many others it was inspiring :] .
I've toned down the lights on towers and turned down backlighting on big fans and changed a little bit postprocess effects (less bloom ,dof etc).
Tomorrow i'll put some screens .

Matroskin · Jan 2010

looks awesome, the complexity is quite impressive

Personally, i just don't like glowing colored neons - it kinda breaks the complexity of the architecutre and distracts from the rest of environment.
Other than that - love it.

Maybe later u could post actual static meshes that u used as building blocks? Would help understand hou u built the level

A.Ceylan · Jan 2010

Man, that's INSANE ...

hydzior · Jan 2010

Some assets from level:

Little update ... Another mesh for my level (5050 triangles) .

Generalvivi · Jan 2010

some awesome stuff there dude! Love the lighting and the architecture !

A.Kincade · Jan 2010

Wow. This is looking awesome. Kind of a lot to look at but overall feel is great. Cant wait to see more. Keep up the good work.

c0ldhands · Jan 2010

Dont know why but your texturing style reminds me of Rage. Really great work dude, cool to see something diffrent( pretty tired of scfi hallways). Only crit is like everyone is saying is that its a bit to much on the eye, way to much stuff that is crowded that the eye has trouble understanding. Keep it up dude, when this is finished im sure its gonna raise a few eyebrows!

osman · Jan 2010

What's really inspiring , is the amount of work you've put in this, great job. And agree with adam and the rest, it's a little bloomy and noisy. Once more, good job

.

Stertman · Jan 2010

waaahw=D Love this.. the video was creapy and beautiful.. can only say: Great work=).

now go make a game out of it:D
