Best Of

Decided to post some of the progress from the scene I'm working on. The goal here is to make my own environment of my own design, including all separate assets. I wanted to practice creating a coherent space where everything fits together. So far, designing all of this has been fun. I only borrowed 3 or so materials for wood from Quixel Megascans, the rest of material and mesh work\design is mine. I use 3dsMax, UVLayout, Zbrush, SubstanceDesigner, and also Procreate for sketches and sometimes some color variation. There are different types of models and materials in the scene. Most are good-old low-poly to high-poly projections, but a few assets use multilayered shaders, some objects are vertex painted and some models have vertex weights. I did it this way to practice different technical approaches. Here's some of the stuff I've done so far:

So my first post in this thread. I chose to create my enviroment from dead space concept art. This is easily the most complicated 3d enviroment i created. So much to do. First thing to learn was trimsheets. Not sure if im doing right. My material is very simple and ive seen people use much more sophisticated materials with trimsheets. I hope i can finish this enviroment to completion until deadline. But this is very fun! 

so this is the main prop in the scene and i decided to finish that one first. Still some pipes to do for it. Next i will move to floor etc.
bit empty still

Tried to get more angular look and extended armor/body, tweaked proportions.
