1st Project of new quarter
polycounter lvl 4
First project of the quarter for school 
I'll be working from Artyom Vlaskin's concept.
I really like this guys concepts...he has intricate yet cleans designs with good silhouettes. http://banderlog.cghub.com/ I've convinced my teacher to present this project real time in UDK instead of maya/max. We have 5 weeks for this in which I will attempt create the high and low poly, unwrap,zbrush sculpt details that max can't handle, hand paint to match Vlaskins style, then to udk for the finish.
1st Update;
Finished the high poly of the reading area. Some pieces are missing just cause I'll duplicate them after the high poly bake anyways.
Posting it here as well so maybe I can get some crits along the way

quick update: Pillars
Recent update:
Lamps..the one on the right is the high poly thats going to be used to create normals from.
Instead of bending the mesh first, I was thinking of unwraping it straight then using the bend modifier later. This way I can use a tiled texture of bricks to save uv space.
Closer shot for details
Now I gotta start on my other "less" fun work :P Any of you ever have more than 1 project at a time but only one gets the most attention??? :P
In order for the images to show up, you'll have right click your image(while viewing normally on postimage.org) and select open in new tab. This will open the image without any superfluous webpage elements; it's just the image, possibly directly from postimage's image server (I think). Use the URL from this new tab.
edit: After looking at your URL's in your post, I'm confused as to why your images didn't show for me. Looks like you already did what I suggested because the URL's were very similar. Perhaps the URL's expire and the images are moved, periodically, to prevent hotlinking.
I think that might be it cause I'll get instances where they'll show and sometimes they won't.
Last update till the boring part :P Unwrapping...
any Z fighting on the screen are the low and high polys overlapping...not a pretty shot but all the assets are done.
After classes are over I'll come back with a few of the minor zbrush stuff, some of the tpages, and some changes that my teacher had suggested...once again always open to suggestions
I think the floor and lighting could do with some work, especially the window, just looks way to strong (bright/saturated).
btw, anyone know of a quick way to get quick previews of lighting in udk while using lightmass? I've adjusted the lightmap res accordingly from 32-2048 but the build times are still too long...thanks again fellas
