Hydroponic Lab Environment

This is a scene I have been working on in UDK. As you can see, I still have a lot to do, but I would like to hear what people think so far. The larger room will eventually be a hydroponic garden and the smaller room will be a research lab studying extracts from the plants.

I am trying to use modular textures for this and minimize the number of high poly models and textures I need for the scene. Right now, I have a tiling texture for the floor, and the walls share two tiling textures. I am also trying to build most of my props to be able to share the same textures, but I will probably end up making a few unique textures with high poly models. I am still working on lighting and materials, particularly for the glass lights. If anyone has any good ideas on how to make frosted glass, I would love to hear them because it turned out to be about a million times harder than I expected. What I have now is ok-ish since you see it from a distance, but I would rather know how to do it correctly.

I will post wireframe and texture shots after I get off work tonight. Hopefully, either tonight or tomorrow I can get the hydroponic shelves and plants in the scene.

You better put some cool futuristic plants in there and not some boring tropical leafy things.

agree with Sparr. Put alot of green in those scene

I think you're trying too hard with all the surfaces. You're clearly trying to make it 'not boring and standard' - and in that regard you're successful. But the shapes are overly busy, kind of clash with eachother, are not functional, and do not give off the mood of a laboratory. The grand foyer of a lab maybe, but not one of the working areas.

Also, the logo (+ in a * in a o) doesn't make me think 'plants' or 'garden' - but rather 'medical cutting tool'.
